Well, what does the line-up look like for Feinstein's amendment (AWB renewal, permanent and strengthened, which she is trying to tack onto S 1805)? We know that Kerry and Edwards are out campaigning, and Zell was absent for the cloture vote.

Wouldn't it be great if Kerry and Edwards' absences directly resulted in the AWB renewal amendment being killed? I realize that Feinstein will try again, but I'd still love to see it.

We know that Warner and DeWine have said that they'll vote to re-new the AWB. They are thankfully cancelled out (today) by Kerry and Edwards, being out. Might the dem candidates rush back to the Senate tomorrow if Feinstein's amendment is close?

Chafee is another Rino who will vote with Feinstein.

Anyone know which dem senators will vote to kill the AWB (Breaux?), and which Rinos will vote to re-new?

My Guess

Dems that switch - Ben Nelson. Rest can't be counted on, but MAYBE Breaux, Baucus, or Lincoln(election year) come through.

RINOS - DeWine, Warner, Chafee, Voinovich. Lugar, Fitzgerald and Specter less likely, but can't be coutned on.
