So that is 57. I want to know if Alito will get 60. That leaves the 2 from NJ, Landreiu, Dorgan, Snowe, and Rockefeller. I admit I just want to make a few dollars on this thing. I know Alito is in.

I would be stunned if the far left LOUSE-enberg were to vote yes. What about Bayh, has he declared himself yet? It's getting pretty late. I think some of these people don't ever want to decide.

He doesnt need 60 votes to be confirmed, he only needs 60 for cloture.. We have well more then 60 for cloture.

57 voteing for him and 7-8 democrats/turn coat republicans that voted against him but will not support a filibuster.

Poor Landrieu - lost all her base in New Orleans. The problem is the she and the gov want money from the pres but they also want to please their base. Although Landrieu is not flaming liberal she still is a democrat. So she has a real problem on her hands in the red state of LA.
