What does that mean? To me, there are 56 dems who will vote for DA.
So, I hope there are some republicans who will vote for DA. So far we need four republicans.

If I am wrong, please correct me.

I can't reach 56 Democratic supporters of DREAM, like what Ramos says. There are 6 more member of the Dem caucus (Tester, Baucus, Nelson, Pryor, Manchin, and Hagan), but I don't consider any of them yes votes. The only thing I can conclude is that Ramos is wrong when he says that 56 non-Repub Senators support DREAM. There may indeed be 56, but that includes some Repubs such as Lugar, Bennett, Murkowski, and Collins.

The only way Ramos can be right is if he has knowledge about those 6 Dems Senators I consider no votes, and I am wrong about 4 of them being no votes. Perhaps Ramos knows that Manchin, Baucus, Hagan, and Tester are secretly yes votes?
