Also...if the result were "no", do you believe that the admin would really let it go at that?

1. 54 - 46 yes, Senate; 218 - 217 yes, House.

Last question, No.

3. Rand Paul is planning on filibustering, so the Senate will have to have 60 votes for colture first

6. Really? Last I heard he was going to punt.

I think that was a sound bite he made after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee vote.

7. Oh okay. I guess he changed his mind (I hadn't heard he had). A link below...

p.s. BUT there's always the chance that someone else might

2. It's hard enough to guess my state's delegation tally

I am predicting that John Kerry will be displeased with the MA delegation - he'll get 2 Congressmen YES and all the others including the Senators will vote NO

[merbex]

4. Forgot to add, that no, I don't think the administration will 'let it go at that'...scary. n/t

8. So Elizabeth Warren didn't "drink the koolaid" on this one.

Didn't think so.

5. 44-Yes, 53-No, 2-No Vote, Senate; 188-Yes, 220-No, 27/No Vote, House

My guesses are stupid and not based on thought or knowledge...

9. I'd be very surprised if there is a House vote...

I think they'll realize it will fail and then kill it.

10. he`ll lose the house and just barely win the senate

[KittyWampus]

11. For the record- I have no earthly idea.

[jsr]

12. Obama will invoke his authority and order attack in spite of House rejection

[Pretzel_Warrior]

13. But no....it's the Lamestream Media that always boils things to a horse race

We average citizens DEMAND more nuance--not just wagering and numbers up on the board!

14. WAG: passes easily in Senate, House will not vote

because the vote would be no. If somehow the vote can be flipped to yes, then and only then will they vote. By that point we'll probably have been bombing for two weeks already. Obama will take his yes vote in the Senate and go bomb some folks with it. He will put a brave face on things: Of the chambers of our bicameral legislature which have expressed an opinion, I scored a perfect 1:1 win for authorization. In the whole history of our nation, a more just war has never been sort of declared by way of vague loopholes and open ended contingency clauses before!

15. +1

Nicely stated
