Harry Reid says he has enough votes for the Porkulus! Republican Susan Collins took the bait

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters Thursday that he has enough votes to pass a more than $900 billion stimulus bill out of the Senate. Reid said he believes at least two Republicans of “good will” would support the Democratic-crafted package. “Do we have the votes? I believe we do,” said Reid, who expects a final vote on the package will be held on Thursday.

One of the two “Republicans” with the good will is apparently Susan Collins (is Olympia Snow the other?):

Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine said Obama, in a meeting with her on Wednesday, had persuaded her that the ultimate bill should be “in the neighborhood of $800 billion.”

“The president did convince me,” she said, adding that she believed the two sides would reach a compromise on the Senate stimulus package on Thursday.
