"DEMOCRATS ARE TWO VOTES SHY OF A FILIBUSTER"
And many cards short of a full deck.
Support Cloture:
Byrd
Nelson
Landrieu
Pryor
Salazar
Dorgan
Lieberman
Conrad
Johnson
Akaka
Update II: A few blogs are reporting Chafee will vote NO on Confirmation NO on filibuster. CONFIRMED
UpdateIII: Chafee WILL oppose filibuster. That 54 Rs +10 Ds = 64 to vote for cloture.
