How many House Republicans have said they're flipping?
In the Iraq debate, is anyone keeping count of how many R's have indicated they'll support the House resolution? From what I've heard in the debate, it seems pretty sizeable?

1. I've 'seen' two so far
But I have it on in the other room, and have heard a few more. Not sure how many of them will actually do a speech, it's their choice. The two I've actually seen are Colbe (R-NC) and Ric Keller(?) from Florida.

9. It is stunning to see these republicans jump from the Titanic, finally.
~except for Ron Paul, he's always been on to these neos. I'd like to see him and Kucinich debate. They are so much alike in some areas.

12. Jones is up making his closing statement
Jones is doing well, aside from his voice! Sounds like he has talked himself dry, or has a sore throat. Someone get him a squirt of Cloraseptic!

11. Walter Jones -- co-wrote the resolution
Just saw one more from Michicgan who supports it. Didn't catch his name.

Jones is closing now, so I'm not sure we'll see more of them. :(

15. I've been listening to quite a few
that are supporting the resolution and criticizing * , Rummy, and the war.

Surprising numbers, actually. I wish someone was keeping tabs on who and how many; I started to, but lost count as I am not able to continuously watch/listen.

There's got to be a tally going somewheres on the web....

anyone?
