Not much of a surprise where they shook out.
THE SQUISHES:
These are the people whose votes are liable to change, along with any notes I wrote down about my conversations with them.Richard Shelby — I got busy signals on both lines, so I just put him in the squish column. Lisa Murkowski — definite squish; plus, her staffer was a huge asshat on the phone. Thad Cochran Judd Gregg — said he was abstaining from voting. Joe Lieberman Mel Martinez Saxby Chambliss — said he currently opposed it, but was “open to compromise” George Voinovich — voted no in appropriations but is still open to voting for the bill Johnny Isakson Arlen Specter — both of his lines were busy, I never actually got through Richard Lugar Chuck Grassley Roger Wicker Lamar Alexander — likely a “no” vote, but still possibly squishy John Cornyn — no answer on either line Kay Bailey Hutchison — busy on both lines Susan Collins Olympia Snowe Michael Enzi — “leaning towards no”
Nice to see Rinovich right there in the hunt with Arlen Specter and Olympia Snowe. Can this clown go fast enough?
