Im glad to hear she is coming around. The best case scenario is that we get a "yea" vote for DREAM. If not then if she will at least vote yes on both cloture votes (to begin debate, and break an almost ceratain GOP filibuster to end debate, and bring the bill to a final up or down vote), that will be just fine.

She and the other 7 democrat senators who voted "no" on cloture the last time should be our main targets:

Baucus (D-MT)
Byrd (D-WV)
Conrad (D-ND)
Dorgan (D-ND)
Landrieu (D-LA)
Pryor (D-AR)
Tester (D-MT)

If they can at least help bring DREAM to a final vote, we will be just fine as we already have enough republican votes to pass it.

The fate of DREAM is all in the hands of the Democrats!
