From a Senate source:
Hereโs what I hear:
Webbโs arm was twisted out of socket on cloture on motion to proceed, and rumor is he will vote no on cloture motionโฆ But honestly I think heโs a toss up.
Domenici sounds like a no but hard to tell โ you guys were our original source. My guess is that when his federal judges amendment hit a wall tonight (sitting behind the Baucus amendment), and given that it โfalls offโ post cloture tomorrow, he becomes a no on cloture.
Burr supposedly came out publicly as no on cloture โ I didnโt hear or seeโฆ But rumor is that heโll be a no on clotureโฆ
Bond I think is goodโฆ
Rumor is that Bayh is potentially a flip which would mix things up a bitโฆ
Though, I would add Nelson in tooโฆ I think Bond is most solid and then Domenici, Burr and Nelson (55/45)โฆ Then Webb (50/50), then Ensign (45/55)โฆ
Bloomberg article is right that Gregg, Bingaman, Murkowski, Pryor, Stevens are undecided but possibleโฆ
