31. Specter can't vote to invoke cloture.
And he won't.

And even if he did, we couldn't get this thing passed until Franken is seated.

Cloture will likely only fail by one vote, so of course the votes would be there for passage. I'm just saying that if I was a betting man, I'd put it all on EFCA meeting its death in the Senate.

However a strong compromise without card check that still retains many of the tough regulations from EFCA will pass, I am sure of.
