Arlen Specter Votes Quotations

It's not easy to get 60 votes on a controversial bill like this, but we're working on it.

My analysis is that we have 62 votes at the present time, and we've got about 15 more people who are thinking it over,

You don't have the votes in the House of Representatives to overcome a presidential veto.

If this will require a rollcall vote, I cannot predict how many rollcall votes we will have this evening, but I would not make dinner plans.
