The rumour is that Cheney is on the Hill!

Then the word must have gotten out that this vote will be close - they wouldn't have Cheney standing by if they didn't need him.

That means that a lot of the "Magnificent Seven" are planning on voting against Owens. Maybe all of them.

Can you say, "The fix was in"?

I hope he's in McCain's. I can only imagine how a real man like Cheney could make a twit like Lindsay Graham sweat.


LOL, he'd pee his pants!

I was wrong. Specter abandoned his previous repeatedly stated opinion that a deal that doesn't give all an up or down vote would be wrong.

7 RINOs have vowed not to vote for rules change if Owens / Brown / Pryor come to the floor for a vote

But they will vote for a rules change if any of those do not get the vote.

Fair enough. Nuclear option belayed as long as the DEMs vote.

Lindsay Graham and Dewine said they will vote nuclear if the Dems run afoul of the MOU.

No fireworks if the cloture motion passes.
