What ae the Prospects of the DA passing the Senate. - Page 2

name those 6 republicans. i would love to know those 6 republicans who are MOST LIKELY to vote yes.

The Senate Republicans on the hot seat -- those who have voted for it in the past or are considered possible “yes” votes because of heavy Hispanic constituencies -- are likely to use process-oriented reasons for voting “no” this time. Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., told National Journal earlier this week that he wouldn’t consider anything until a spending bill had passed. That spending measure is still being negotiated, with a stopgap funding bill in the works to avert a government shutdown. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who sponsored a similar bill in the past, has said he won’t vote for it this time because Republicans won’t have the opportunity to amend it.

Other Republicans to watch are Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas and George LeMieux of Florida. Hutchison voted for the bill in 2007, and LeMieux might not want to tick off the large Hispanic population in his state. Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine also voted for the Dream Act in the past, and they are likely among the small group of GOP members to continue to support it. Sens. Richard Lugar of Indiana and Robert Bennett of Utah also voted for it.



So, Lugar, Bennett, Snowe, Collins, Murkowski, and maybe Brownback = 5-6 likely yays
But, the question is how many Democrats will vote no?

I wouldn't count too much on Snowe or Brownback.

WTH are you talking about?

you have a very loose definition of "likely"...LOL snowe came out and said she will vote NO. brownback is a fencesitter hasnt mentioned one word about DREAM Act. murkowski is also undecided. the only 2 yeas we have from republican side so far is lugar and bennnett. thats it.

theres only slim chance that DA will pass tomorrow. comprende?

You fkn troll GTFO!!

are you stupid or something? calm down. its a fact that dream act will have tough time passing tomorrow.

We all know that, but u sound like a dumb ass killing everybody's hopes for tomorrow...

Does anyone know what time tomorrow? I went to the senate and cspan 2 schedule, but found nothing.
