I needed a Gang of 14 reminder:
Republicans
John McCain of Arizona,
Mike DeWine of Ohio,
John Warner of Virginia,
Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine,
Lindsey Graham of South Carolina
Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island;
Democrats
Robert Byrd of West Virginia,
Ken Salazar of Colorado,
Ben Nelson of Nebraska,
Mark Pryor of Arkansas,
Daniel Inouye of Hawaii,
Mary Landrieu of Louisiana
Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut.
Good point..remember..you'd need FIVE of the Dems to go against the filabuster..Pryor won't, nor Nelson..theyr'e from red states.. neither will Landrieu now, after the hurricane..and I don't think Sheets will now either..unless he decided NOT to run again..Inouye will vote to filabuster..so it comes down to Lieberman and/or Salazar...
