There are sites where you can gamble on how many votes Kav ultimately gets and for some reason 53 has been surging, up 21% today (from 15% to 36%)

It's currently the single most popular choice of any number.

I really don't think 2 Dems will defect but with this movement a lot of people seem to be reading the tea leaves that 2 will. Which two? Manchin and another?

If Flake, Collins, and Murkowski are a yes, Manchin and Heidi will join them.

If turtle has the votes, Schumer will allow the dems that really need it to vote yes. That’s at least 2 votes.

Would need more than 2 Democrats. Flake is a flake and I would not put it past Murkowski to vote no.

There has to be some strategy on the red state Dem part.

If the final vote is going to be 51-49, then them defecting is purely symbolic at that point and changes nothing. The Dem leadership might give a few of the most vulnerable ones permission to vote in favor at that point.

Murkowski is more likely a yes vote than anyone. She's never won more than 49% of the vote in any of her elections and had to run as an Independent in 2010 after she lost the Republican Primary.

Murkowski’s brother went to Georgetown Prep.

I wouldn’t mind seeing 50/50, with Pence swooping in to put the exclamation point on it. The dramatic extra melt inducing effect.

Wow, who knew a LARP could move the betting markets? Interesting since money people tend to know what is up

Is it not possible for the Republicans to keep their votes in house to force the Dems to vote without knowing the Republiacn outcome? Fat chance with Flake's love affair with Coons but it would be great to force the Dems to vote how they would WITHOUT knowing the outcome already.

Nate Silver called 53-47 on the 28th. That is what he thought would happen after the supplemental background check was complete.
