Three Four Five Six and a half so far. List via here: note that I only have Republican cosponsors listed, largely because the Democratic ones don’t listen to Republicans and the netroots won’t dare push their own side to do anything meaningful. I’ll link to retractions as I go along.

Boozman just flipped according to Twitter.
3 Facebook retractions and a Twitter one.
The times, they are a-changin’.
When did Hatch flip?
Hatch flipped some time before lunch, I think. Link’s up now.
Betcha McCain stands firm all the way!
Feel sorry for me in Tennessee– nothin’ but RINOS everywhere! Bah.
Maverick is still there. Expected. The guy is probably on every stupid legislation. Sen Ayotte? That one I don’t get.
Where are Snowe and Collins? Usually they push to the front of the line to sign anything that has liberal support and increases federal oversight.
@Rob Crawford:
@antisocial:
In 2008 the pundits told me to “hold my nose” and vote for McCain. And today they are telling me to do the same for Romney. (sigh)
For those keeping track at home: of the 41 original co-sponsors, 17 are Republican, and 24 are Democrat.
Of the 17 original Republican co-sponsors, 8 have withdrawn their support in response to constituent pressure (including Moran, who withdrew support before yesterday’s push).
Of the 24 original Democrat co-sponsors, ZERO have withdrawn support, regardless of constituent pressure.
This point bears repeating – and remembering.
Even the Maine twins kept their name off this. And there’re the Georgia twins big as day. As always. If we can’t get conservatives here….
