The Washington Post reports at least five Republicans are committed to supporting the Levin-Warner resolution, but this does not square with what has been reported to me, and I won't be trusting the MSM to report this debate fairly.  I do not believe that either Norm Coleman or Gordon Smith have declared that they will be voting for the defeatist resolution --rightfully called a "vote of no confidence" by John McCain yesterday-- and the GOP caucus may hold together and kill the resolution in its crib.

The seven Republicans up for re-election in 2008 and listed by the Post as supporting or undecided on Levin-Warner, and thus to who the appeal should be made this week are:

Senator Lamar Alexander (TN): (202) 224-4944

Senator Norm Coleman (MN): (202) 224-5641

Senator Susan Collins (ME): (202) 224-2523

Senator Lisa Murkowski (AK):  (202) 224-6665

Senator Gordon Smith (OR): (202) 224-3753

Senator John Sununu (NH): (202) 224-2841

Senator John Warner (VA): (202) 224-2023
