Don't forget the usual set who HAVE broken ranks a few percent of the time. You know the names -

Susan Collins
Lisa Murkowski
Mitt Romney

And on occasion these couple will rotate in -

Pat Toomey
Rob Portman

What will be instructive is that since the party numbers are now tied (with the 2 Indies caucusing with Ds), how much they will still "buck their party for attention".
