Just got off a conference call with Ted Kennedy and others, and we got a better idea where the Dems are on all of this.

Some notes:

Maria Cantwell is reportedly quite wobbly, and might be succeptible to pressure. If Cantwell falls, Murray will potentially fall too.

Levin, Harkin, Bayh, Lautenberg, Lincoln, Pryor and Lieberman (who has not in fact committed) all need pressure.

Kennedy says the press have been able to convince people that the Dems they are obstructionist; they have been successful in spreading the perception that Daschle was an obstructionist, and look what happened to him. They believe that voting their consience on this matter is "obstructionist," and they think they will pay a fiersome price back home if they are perceived thusly, so PLEASE let them know that just the opposite is true.
