Escalation Scoreboard: Seven GOP Senators Opposed, Nine More Skeptical
By Andrew Bielak | bio

So where do GOP Senators stand on the President's plans to escalate the war?

Despite the administration's agressive campaign to garner support for the escalation of U.S. forces in Iraq, the plan is increasingly being met with skepticism where it really hurts: key Republicans in the Senate. And if the President loses his own party, he loses his bid to escalate.

So we're keeping track here at Election Central of which GOP Senators have passed judgment on the plan and what they've said. Here's the tally as it stands now: Seven Republicans firmly against and nine more expressing reluctance or skepticism.
