New York Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), the third-highest ranking member of the Senate Democratic caucus, is emerging as the key figure in the congressional battle over the Iran deal. Schumer, who has maintained a tight silence since the nuclear deal was announced two weeks ago, was the most frequent target of last weeks rally against the deal in Times Square. Activists say a no vote from Schumer will not be enough; they want him to rally others to override President Barack Obamas anticipated veto. Supporters of the deal are also lobbying him, hard.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Silver lining of this fiasco is that this phony will be ruined whatever decision he makes. The Democrats will never trust him or elect him leader if he votes against it, he’ll never have another good night’s sleep if he votes for it.

I think you hit the nail on the head there. Schumer can vote "yes" on the override to grandstand in front of his NY constituency. But he knows he can't get enough 'Rats to go along with him.
