More Late Vote Speculation [Rich Lowry]
From a Senate source:
Here's what I hear:
Webb's arm was twisted out of socket on cloture on motion to proceed, and rumor is he will vote no on cloture motion... But honestly I think he's a toss up.
Domenici sounds like a no but hard to tell - you guys were our original source. My guess is that when his federal judges amendment hit a wall tonight (sitting behind the Baucus amendment), and given that it "falls off" post cloture tomorrow, he becomes a no on cloture.
Burr supposedly came out publicly as no on cloture - I didn't hear or see... But rumor is that he'll be a no on cloture...
Bond I think is good...
Rumor is that Bayh is potentially a flip which would mix things up a bit...
Though, I would add Nelson in too... I think Bond is most solid and then Domenici, Burr and Nelson (55/45)... Then Webb (50/50), then Ensign (45/55)...
Bloomberg article is right that Gregg, Bingaman, Murkowski, Pryor, Stevens are undecided but possible...
