Likely Dem traitors on Cloture:

Pryor = WILL VOTE YES
Landrieu = REPORTS AT DU SAY YES
Dorgan = REPORTS SAY YES
Conrad = YES, AND YES ON ALITO
Johnson = YES, NO ON ALITO
Byrd = YES, YES ON ALITO
And of course...drumroll:

Lieberman - likely yes, no on Alito.

55 + 7 = 62 votes for YEA.

And of course,

NELSON of NE = 63. (YES AND YES)

People that are iffy:

Obama,
Biden

We'll see aboutt he latter two on the morning shows today. But even with them, we will still not have enough to stop the Republicans from having 60.

On the Republican side, people voting for cloture that we would want on our side:

- Chafee voting YEA
- Collins voting YEA

Even if Snowe flips, 62.
