If the guy is telling the truth at all then we have all but 1 democrats in favor. So 58 democrats + at least 2 republicans

Lugar is definitely in for DREAM

all we need is one more which most likely would be, at the least, LeMeiux from FL

I hope he is right, we should have no trouble passing if this is true. Oh god please let it be true. Plus who knows, before Reid said he would attach it to the Defense bill McCain said he would consider voting Yea if there was large support in the senate (1-2 votes needed to pass for example). Plus the more democrats who support a legislation the more likely republicans will, too. Plus I know there are 1-3 incumbents right now that could secure their seat in the senate if they vote Yea and pass the dream act because, for the most part, their challengers are saying they support Dream but not CIR. Pass DREAM and the challenger has nothing to stand by without changing their political standpoint on CIR.

Also with that projected number of democrats it leaves us 1 democrat short...something tells me its Senator Hagan from North Carolina. =( This place is a political battleground. NC went blue for the first time since.......the last 4 presidents in office lol. Obama took NC by under 20k votes I believe. So senator Hagan, although a democrat, has faced a lot of adversity. I just hope Richard Burr looses his seat in the coming midterm elections to Elaine Marshall (Secretary of State for North Carolina). I hope Hagan changes her mind on Dream and votes Yea. Emails, calls, protests, hunger strickes...nothing seems to be changing her view on the damn thing other than it should be part of CIR and she will only vote for it if it is part of CIR.


I want burr out, no incumbent in his seat has been reelected since the mid 70's, he has 44% of votes in the poles, Marshal has 43%. Marshal is expected to get latino votes if DREAM passes and Women votes given her past as a Women's domestic violence lawyer and christian support having graduated from a christian school.

Lugar would probably go against his party and vote yea. We might be able to persuade Brownback, Snowe, Collins, and LeMieux. If all of them vote yea, then we will reach the magic number (assuming Menendez's estimate is correct).

Because these senators are under a lot of pressure from the Republican leadership, we really don't know how they are going to vote. I guess we'll find out next week.
