Legislation that moderate Senate Democrats will support may very well also draw the support of somewhat moderate Republican Senators like Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Arlen Specter, Richard Lugar, or George Voinovich. Several Democratic Senators are from fairly "red" states so there may just as much ass kissing of them as of the Republicans I mentioned to get supermajority votes when required.
