Senate vote on Iraq supplemental will take place at 8:25PM.
They evidently decided to capitulate to Bush and get out of town--so they don't have to take our calls tomorrow.

1. I would be very surprised if more than a dozen Sens opposed the bill.

Has anyone taken to the floor yet in opposition?

This is going to be a tough few days for "our side", i suspect.

5. Perhaps not even that many. Only Dems speaking against it so far, Kerry, and Boxer.
Although Feingold and Sanders will also vote against the bill.

7. And Dodd is on record against. So that's five.
The way the Dems are framing it as "for the troops" ... "cannot abandon the troops" ... it's going to be a landslide.

9. Coburn (crazy repuke) also and maybe another repuke also voting NO.
Opposing on the grounds of the "add ons" i'm sure.
