The Senate Debate
Townhall ^ | 2/5/07 | Hugh Hewitt

Posted on 02/05/2007 7:30:41 AM PST by Valin

The Washington Post reports at least five Republicans are committed to supporting the Levin-Warner resolution, but this does not square with what has been reported to me, and I won't be trusting the MSM to report this debate fairly. I do not believe that either Norm Coleman or Gordon Smith have declared that they will be voting for the defeatist resolution --rightfully called a "vote of no confidence" by John McCain yesterday-- and the GOP caucus may hold together and kill the resolution in its crib.

The seven Republicans up for re-election in 2008 and listed by the Post as supporting or undecided on Levin-Warner, and thus to who the appeal should be made this week are:

Senator Lamar Alexander (TN): (202) 224-4944

Senator Norm Coleman (MN): (202) 224-5641

Senator Susan Collins (ME): (202) 224-2523

Senator Lisa Murkowski (AK): (202) 224-6665

Senator Gordon Smith (OR): (202) 224-3753

Senator John Sununu (NH): (202) 224-2841

Senator John Warner (VA): (202) 224-2023

They have to all be looking over their shoulders at this point.

Hold on!

This a a Washington Post rumor paper, and needs to be verified by at least 2 other sources.

Don't shoot before we know they're deserting us.

I would suggest that all but the southern state senators are lost causes. Concentrate your efforts on Lamar Alexander and John Warner. Definitely don't waste your time on Susan Collins.

Don't these Congress people have important business to tend to on the behalf of the American people -- instead of pretending to be the governments of second-rate countries like Britain and France?

If this was France, John Kerry would be president.
