Yay!! Harkin is going to do as I wanted - 24 hour a day sessions if needed!!!!

[HughMoran]

WOOHOO!!! :party:

He says that they'll run all night if they have to - and as soon as a Republican goes to the bathroom, they'll close debate!

5. If cloture is invoked they have about 54 votes

they have the votes for the final vote, not the procedural vote.

There is a difference...

TOO MUCH INSIDE BASEBALL on how the Senate works.

[Historic NY]

2. A real filibuster...wow this could be good CSPAN

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. I will have to brew some coffee

3. Time to short on Depends companies

so they're "temporarily" out of stock (hint) so the Rethuglicans can't find something to piss on.

Oh, and take away all the plants in the US Senate chambers. No place to piss either.

4. 55 out of 60 support the public option - "we're not going to let the tail wag the dog"

15. Welcome to DU

Tell us why you're so cynical (in a little more detail than the subject line please...

:hi:

[Rwalsh]

8. Call me cynical, but I can't share your joy.

I've heard this kind of talk before and seen nothing come of it.

[HughMoran]

10. Sherrod Brown and Harkin are at least 2 who say they will do this

It's the best strategy - it's the only strategy. What better way to kick the Republicans in the balls for being ass holes.

"Whatever it takes" he says! :party:

9. ROFLMAO! I love it! nt

[LaPera]

11. So he says!

[liberal N proud]

12. Senator Sherrod Brown backed that up

What ever it takes

[HughMoran]

14. Great interview with Brown. "Whatever it takes" and "No Stupidak" language

I'm liking this confidence. :)

[liberal N proud]

16. We have always like his confidence

He was a great representative and a great Senator.

[HughMoran]

17. Let's hope they are serious about this

I missed Keith earlier (watching House), but he's reporting the same story - I love it.

[bluestateguy]

18. That's fine, but I support doing what works

And if that's the ticket, then so be it. If reconciliation is the ticket, then do that instead.

[HughMoran]

19. "Whatever it takes"

That was his exact quote, so it's not "but", it's "and".

[rurallib]

20. Make 'em show their cards to the country! Make 'em hurt.

21. YEA!!!! n/t
