There's no doubt that, in the end, the Senate will vote to fund Obamacare. The "filibuster" won't stop this from happening. What it does is put everyone on the record; do they support Obamacare, or don't they? That's the point of the exercise. Sen. Mary Landrieu will need to vote. Sen.

Cruz Control
As I write this morning, the long speech/filibuster that Sen. Ted Cruz began, in opposition to funding Obamacare, is still going on. We're now about 15 hours into this.

What it does is put everyone on the record; do they support Obamacare, or don't they? That's the point of the exercise. Sen. Mary Landrieu will need to vote. Sen.David Mark Pryor will have to vote. Even Sen. Al Franken will have to vote. If you want to watch, it's on here.

I could swear former Senator David Pryor hasn't actually been a member of the US Senate since 1997. But I guess it's hard to say.
Good point -- it's Mark Pryor. I'll fix it. Blogging pre-coffee is always a dangerous business.
Where's Sen. Proxmire to award Obamacare the Golden Fleece?
