You can also add Lamar Alexander to the list (35*).

* He’s voting “no” if it’s brought up this year but you take what you can get. Inhofe hinted today that several more “no” votes will occur if the treaty is taken for a floor vote.

I wonder if this monster will even get 60 votes for cloture.

Kerry knows that this is a “make or break” for LOST for the foreseeable future. If the GOP gains control the Senate, and has a new batch of GOP conservatives (Fischer, Cruz, Mourdock, etc.,) then this treaty might not get out of committee in 2013 (or for many, many years).

If the whip count isn’t there, I can guess that those who support this treaty might either switch their vote (after making a lame excuse) or simply not show up. If you hear the quorum call with several Democrats not on the list, then you know it’s truly DOA.

Will Kerry, like a bulldog, try to ram a floor vote? At this rate he might not get cloture and risks getting egg on his face....his followers might not be so fanatical when voters hear the scope of this bad treaty.

Until the vote, get your senators on-the-record on LOST. Even the ones who the press believes are supporters.

GOP
Enzi (WY)
Graham (SC)
Snowe (ME)
Collins (ME)
Corker (TN)
McCain (AZ)
Murkowski (AK)
Cochran (MS)
Brown (MA)
Kirk (IL)
Hutchinson (TX)

Lugar co-sponsored the bill...forget him.....good riddance.

DNC
All Democratic supporters are believed to be supporting the treaty.

Even if he loses, Kerry will not quit. He and his globalist buddies will go back to the drawing board to make a few cosmetic changes and try to resell LOST as something new and improved (back home we call that “polishing a turd”).
