Breaux was on cnbc LAST NITE pretty much supporting the package.

Don't forget there are others that will be up for re-election, in several months....

Bottom Line, the Presdient gets 75-85 % of what he wants.

Breaux does not support the President's dividend proposal. He signed a letter dated yesterday that committed himself and the other three signers to support no more (and no less) than $350 billion in tax cuts for consideration under the reconciliation (think fast track) process. When you look at the scores that the Senate works with, that means that they will be supporting accelerating the upper-bracket rate cuts, accelerating the marriage penalty relief, accelerating the increase in the child credit, accelerating the widening of the 10-percent brakcet, and increasing the amount of small business investment that would qualify for immediate write-off.
