Is Cochran on board with START Treaty?
In addition to Lugar, Brown, and Corker, other GOP senators such as George Voinovich of Ohio and Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine have also said they will vote for the treaty. The GOP’s Judd Gregg of New Hampshire has said he is inclined to support it, while Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi also plans to vote for it, according to Democrat Chuck Schumer of New York. Cochran later told Roll Call that he is still evaluating the pact.
If those eight senators back the treaty, that means the pact would only need one more Republican vote for ratification. That vote could come from a handful of GOP senators such as Johnny Isakson of Georgia, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Bob Bennett of Utah, or John McCain of Arizona.
