Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters Thursday that he has enough votes to pass a more than $900 billion stimulus bill out of the Senate.
Reid said he believes at least two Republicans of “good will” would support the Democratic-crafted package.
“Do we have the votes? I believe we do,” said Reid, who expects a final vote on the package will be held on Thursday.
It appears the stimulus would attract only a few GOP votes, however, and Senate Democratic leaders distanced themselves from earlier hopes that the economic recovery could draw more Republican support.
Michelle Malkin has the list of suspected GOP Senators who have gone squishy and might support this pork-laden monster which is a Generational Theft Act.
- Collins (202) 224-2523
- Snowe (202) 224-5344
- Specter (202) 224-4254
- Voinovich (202) 224-3353 (Says he will not support bill in current form?)
Call them, melt the phones and tell them to vote NO on S.1.

Don’t think it’s Collins or Snowe. I think they’re working with Ben Nelson to try and cut some pork out of the bill. Has to be Specter and Voinovich.

That would be interesting when they start to negotiate.
