Promises, Promises...

OK, so Novak has the "inside scoop" that Bill Frist and the GOP Senators can muster the necessary votes to stop this filibuster horse-hockey.

I've heard this so many times before I want to puke. But I put a lot of stock in Robert Novak. Apparently Olympia Snowe of Maine and Lincoln (I'm famous 'cuz of my daddy) Chafee of RI will not vote for the "constitutional option". Nor, as we know by now, will John McCain.

That still leaves 52 Republican Senators on the reservation. They only need 50 (Cheney presiding over the Senate could cast the tie-breaking vote). And according to Novak, NE Senator Ben Nelson, a Democrat, may be persuadable to vote with us. So what's the deal, McFly? Are you in or are you out?

Is this actually going to happen? Stay tuned.
