I wonder if anybody explained to Sheehan that one Senator can't start a filibuster, and also that there are enough votes for cloture. A filibuster ain't gonna happen, even if she threatens to run for every Senate seat.

Next thing you know Dean will threaten to run for president again if there is no filibuster.

Actually - 1 Senator indeed can start a filibuster - assuming there are enough votes actually cast for cloture, that just means said Senator has to stop talking.
