Dem Scoreboard on Censure?

Is anyone going to keep a running tally of how Democratic U.S. Senators react to Feingold's censure resolution?

So far I haven't heard any other Senators express an opinion or how they might vote.

1. Levin expressed an opinion on CNN yesterday; seemed to not

want to commit to censure, but he's had 24 hours to think about it. :evilgrin:

2. Firedoglake

has been extremely encouraging about it, and it seems like they want to keep a tally.

What they also want is for everybody to phone his senators to support Feingold's resolution.

I'm in Massachusetts, and I'm assuming that Kennedy and Kerry will vote for censure. If I'm wrong about this, please let me know!

13. Thank you

I called their (Boston) offices and was told by both staffers that neither of them had decided. (Would it be too much trouble for them to tell their staffers? Or do they think that they'll get a better read on their constituents' opinions if they don't tip their hand?)

6. I called

My two Senators, Obama and Durbin, and they have not made up their mind or
notified their offices either by email or phone call. Guess they are getting lots
of calls - I told them Bush has been getting away with murder for years and we
feel abandoned by our party. One rep said but, but, but we're in the minority
and our hands have been tied. I told her they will never regain the majority or
the Presidency until they show exactly what they stand for or against.

Imagine, two democrats and they still don't know what they're going to do.
Mind boggling!

7. Reid's office said that he has not decided

and he would like the Intelligence Oversight Committee to do its work first.

11. Headline over at News Max ( Freeper Site)

"Al Gore, Feingold lead attack on Bush"

That's why I think it matters. It's a start.
