Well the dems(Kerry,Reid, and Obama) said that they wouldn't bring LOST up unless the GOP would or could provide provide X numbers of votes on the floor.

They had the same agreement back in 2010 when the Senate ratified the START treaty

Meanwhile, the NeoCons are thinking that if they can get Lugar unelected, then Lugar's chairmanship on the Senate Foreign Relations committee is open and maybe they can get Rubio into that chair to block LOST.

The Constitution says treaties are ratified "provided two thirds of Senators present concur." Hence, by the Constitution, LOST could in theory be ratified by three Senators. Treaties have been ratified with no record of a quorum on a voice vote.

Lugar's parting will be ugly.

Meanwhile, the NeoCons are thinking that if they can get Lugar unelected, then Lugar's chairmanship on the Senate Foreign Relations committee is open and maybe they can get Rubio into that chair to block LOST.

Opposition to LOST is not simply from "NeoCons" and you know it.
