22 are definite YES
The rest are undecided. This Richard Burr guy is a disaster. Kelly Ayotte, just sad.
Let's see if Johanns throws himself under the Hagel express.
I contacted my two turds today and told them to vote NO.
Lamar’s possible “No” is somewhat surprising. I know he longs to support Bammy, like his fellow RINO Corker. But with a Tea Party challenge looming he has to watch his right flank. Good.
Woo, both KS senators are a no.
You forgot that Boxer was “The Dwarf” ;)
“Syria Senate” sounds probable to me.
I think he knows he’s in trouble. He hopes this vote will save him. I hope not.
Ayotte has become a McCain drone. She will do whatever McCain tells her to do whether it is amnesty or launching a war.
I’m proud of my two KS Senators, Roberts and Jerry Moran for coming out early to say “no” to Obama, Kerry and Dempsey!
I have a more appropriate name for her, but I’d probably get banned if I wrote it.
Toomey (R-Pa), has stated he will support starting WWIII.
Curious that Sessions and Shelby have not come out as ‘no’s yet.

Call these clowns in DC or their local offices.
If you don’t speak up,don;t complain about a Middle East war—because that is exactly what these jokers will set off.
Add isaakson to the probably yes vote. Just called chambliss and his office and got the same “we are undecided” crap which usually means they will support the tyrant.
Thanks for the update. This douche is Ayotte 2.0!
At this point, the “undecideds” are just trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of Raytheon, Lockheed, Boeing, and other defense contractors.
I think he hopes the vote will be no. Or at least he should. It gives him an out and the media will get to blast the GOP for him. Obama will get to pile on Congress and justify ignoring the constitution for his constituents.
He has no interest in using the military. I doubt he cares that Syria used chemical weapons.
Isaakson is a Chambliss clone. ‘Nuff said.
It's a majority vote, not two turds. :)
Hagan And Burr, you’re on notice. Don’t even thinking about re-election.
