If this was to invoke cloture, do all you guys and gals think you can change the minds of Specter, Collins, Snowe and Corker with your descent upon Washington D. C.

It won't matter if all four of them vote no tomorrow. For the bill to pass, it only needs 51 (or 50+ Biden), not 60.

Wouldn't matter if they did. At this point they only need 51 votes to pass. (VP vote doesn't come in to the picture, since there are only 99 votes right now, and there cannot be a tie, the only time the VP can vote.) But there might be 100 by the time the final bill gets out of conference committee.

???? Is there another opportunity for a filibuster after the conference committee, or must that be a straight up and down vote????
