''The Senate votes Wednesday on the START treaty, and it appears there are enough votes to ratify it. The treaty with Russia would cap nuclear warheads and restart on-site weapons inspections.''

And we can all feel better now that we and the Russians will now limit our nuclear warheads to only 1,550 each.
Update: Senate passes New Start, 71-26.
The 26 losers, all Republicans of course, who voted no because they could and not based on national security.
