...with. I hope this is true...we need New Start.

That makes 11 - so if any are shaky, there is now some padding.

Though in the article, Lindsey Graham is competing with Kyl, McConnell and McCain for most nasty, juvenile opponent.

There were also likely yeses (or in Wyden's case a not voting that reduces the number needed to 66)

Meanwhile, in a completely mind numbingly stupid Fox stunt - they wonder why Kerry was note taught to debate at Yale (did they miss 3 debates in 2004 and they missed that for 4 years he was not just the Yale's star debater, but the best in the country.) They take McConnell's full comments and played only Kerry's first sentence - It was the same speech that impressed everyone here. http://mediamatters.org/blog/201012210009
