She notes it is an "uphill" fight for opponents, but if I read the Noam Askew cloture list right it's doable (barely). I've highlighted the Senators who are up for reelection in 2008. The longer the process is delayed, the more polls emerge demonstrating the bill's unpopularity. (Here's Zogby's. It's Zogby. And it's "Interactive." But it confirms what Rasmussen and then NBC/WSJ and Greenberg/Carville found.) ... P.S.: Ed Morrissey has a Senate source who says Hutchison will announce against cloture. [Via Malkin, who also has a list.] ... P.P.S.: But why focus only on Republicans? Not many Dem Senators relish being on the short side of a 50-25 issue either. Here are some Democrats worth lobbying who voted against cloture earlier this month: Baucus (Mt.); Bingaman (N.M.); Boxer (Calif.); Pryor (Ark.); Nor does it seem out of the question that some Democrats who recently voted for cloture--especially the ones who are up for reelection--might find an outpouring of popular opposition to the bill especially persuasive.

And aside from that, he was just nice to my family for a long time." In 2003, Mr. Sethi paid $1.856 million for two 1,305-square-foot two-bedroom apartments at 150 Nassau Street, the landmark Romanesque building that Mr. Tessler just converted to condos. Then why did he make such little profit? He seems to have sold off the properties in a rush. According to condo president Harold Schertz, the apartments were facing foreclosure, which he blames on technical glitches at the bank.
