We'll be liveblogging it at 10am ET at http://bilerico.com if you'd like to join us. I am especially interested to see the reactions of Senators Murkowski and Hagan.

Thank you, Nan, for this as-usual insightful commentary. The only thing I would note is that it is still early in the legislative process, and things could look a lot worse in the Senate. My calculations show 58 likely yes votes, and 60 are needed at a bare minimum to overcome the likely filibuster. The Senate spreadsheet is here: http://bit.ly/14TDll This is, of course, no guarantee of anything, and I note that we lost the Senate by one vote in 1996.
