3. How many do we need?

[papau]

9. we need no specific number - they need 60 votes - and only have 59 yes's

at this time.

We win if none of the no votes feels a need to end debate - to vote for cloture.

13. Thanks for the info!

4. Wohoo!!

Great news! Next up, Levin, Cantwell, Murray.

[Nutmegger]

5. Yay! Now we're getting somewhere. (nt)

7. I know JK said that this is not" Mr Smith Goes to Washington"

Wouldn't it be sweet to see Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, John Kerry, Barack Obama, Harry Reid and so many more just letting it rip and standing up for the Constitution and firing a broadside at the BFEE.

6. good for them! n/t

11. I knew sarbanes would come through

he's retiring his seat and knows how important these last votes will be.

[neverevergivein]

14. I just read somewhere we're only 2 short!!!

We can do this!

[orleans]

16. two short of what? n/t

[neverevergivein]

24. 2 short of enough votes to sustain a filibuster

i swear i saw the post on here, just not exactly sure the source. but it seemed logical. and inspiring.

[orleans]

26. according to this all we need is to NOT have 60 senators vote

for cloture

http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0128-21.htm

so i guess if they don't want to filibuster--fine. just stay home or do not vote for cloture.

15. Anyone here ever see Finding Nemo?

I feel like we're the fish caught in the net and we're all swimming down to break free ... just about there - KEEP SWIMMING!

20. As the mother of a small child - I like your analogy.

[helderheid]

29. :) I have wee ones too. :)

[Blue Belle]

23. See I feel like it's that scene in "An American President"...

Where Sydnie Ellen Wade's office has the number of votes they need and the number of votes they have on big sheets of paper, and they tear off a sheet each time they land a vote. We need a TOTE BOARD at the top of this forum showing us how many we have and how many we need to get. :)

28. I thought the same thing yesterday.

I love that flick.

[rumpel]
