Earlier this week, Sen. Mike Johanns (R., Neb.) told NRO that his bill to repeal Obamacare’s 1099 tax-reporting requirement had 50 co-sponsors. According to The Hill, it now has 60 backers, including a handful of Democrats who are up for reelection in 2012:

Since Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) introduced the bill on Tuesday, lawmakers have quickly signed onto the measure, which would eliminate the requirement that businesses file the forms to the IRS for every vendor with which they have at least $600 in transactions.
“Today we hit the magic number 60 and I feel great about that,” Johanns told The Hill on Thursday.
The measure has the support of 45 Republicans and 15 Democrats — Sens. Mark Begich (Alaska), Michael Bennet (Colo.), Maria Cantwell (Wash.), Kay Hagan (N.C.), Amy Klobuchar (Minn.), Manchin, Ben Nelson (Neb.), Mark Pryor (Ark.), Debbie Stabenow (Mich.), Jon Tester (Mont.), Mark Udall (Colo.), Mark Warner (Va.), Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) and Jim Webb (D-Va.).
