If Al Franken is confirmed, the GOP won’t be able to filibuster, and the Dems will have up to 10 “no” votes to give red state Dem senators like Ben Nelson and Mary Landrieu for final passage. The only hopes of stopping it is to get 1 Dem to join a filibuster, or keep Franken out of the Senate until more public sentiment turns against the bill. And we have to keep Snowe and Collins from voting for it too.

Landrieu plans on voting no from what I am hearing locally. (Although that was a week ago or so.)
