Who will support a fillibuster and who won't?

[pstokely]

who's undecided?

[Neecy]

1. I don't think many have declared yet...

They'll wait until the hearings are over.

There certainly are ones to worry about though - apparently Feinstein (which shocks me - about the only issue she's dependable on is choice), I'd worry about Landrieu and Nelson for sure.

2. you mean besides zell?

i honestly think the dems would pretty much hold together if they decided to filibuster.

i just don't think they know if that is the smartest thing to do.

maybe in an up or down vote -- we get a cross over repuke or three.

5. Maybe I'm missing something...but Zell's not there anymore...

or are you talking about Lieberman?

6. lol -- you're right. memory is the first to go.

ok -- lieberman.

3. the 'gang of seven' won't.

[Neecy]

4. I don't know about that...

The key to the gang of seven is Byrd, and I think his concerns regarding presidential authority and abuse thereof will give him pause about this guy. Certainly it's a bigger issue to him than 'saving' the filibuster.
