A couple of tidbits on the Senate vote on the House Iraq resolution which is passing as I write this.
First, The current number of Senate Republicans voting for a cloture vote on stands at four, with Smith of Oregon, Collins and Snowe of Maine, and Warner of Virginia.

As it mentions at the end of the article wisdom has it that The Democrats will have to line up as many as 11 GOP senators to a Yea vote for a Lieberman proof majority, so conversations with are expected to last right up to the vote.
Also of interest is this tidbit about Where exactly Senator McCain will be spending his Saturday.
Apparently he's too much of a maverick to put Iraq on his Voting Record. I'm sure his constituents appreciate that.
