If ALL Democrats (which is 45) + the 2 (I)s who caucus with Democrats vote "no", then if the (R)s lose 4, they lose and if they lose 3, then they need Vance to break the tie.

They already know that SPAWN of Ron Paul is a hard "no" and there is a strong possibility (although he is usually a wimp-ass in the end) that Ron Johnson will be a "no". Lose Collins and Murkowski too and the bill is DOA.
