As the rumors fly about the budget "deal" and whether any Republicans will actually vote for it, it seemed like the best move was to actually call up Republican offices and ask. sean mykael of Bear Flag Blue took the lead on calling the 15 Republican State Senators and we got some...interesting responses.

There were 5 outright "No" responses, from Sam Aanestad (SD-4), George Runner (SD-17), Bob Huff (SD-29), Dennis Hollingsworth (SD-36) and Mark Wyland (SD-38). Robert Dutton (SD-31) is leaning no.

Most responses fell into the "no position, haven't seen any details, but we oppose taxes." This includes Tony Strickland (SD-19) and Mimi Walters (SD-33) but also Jeff Denham (SD-12).
