Well, my prediction has always been no filibuster, 57 votes in favor. But there will probably be more votes in favor -- I haven't been wrong about anything in over a year and I'm due.
The "no filibuster" was an easy "prediction" - - a slam dunk from the beginning (that was one of the things the "Gang of 14" resolved long ago). But your 57 votes prediction deserves kudos and applause! That's 54 Republicans (all but Chafee) and three Democrats (Byrd, Nelson, and Johnson?). It looks like you are right on the money.
My prediction from two weeks ago was 82. So much for me and my crazy predictions.
