We have a new ENDA co-sponsor in the Senate: Senator Jim Webb of Virginia. This confirms the previous information we had that he would be supporting the bill. Our Senate count remains at 55.
Meanwhile, out of DC comes the suggestion that Speaker Nancy Pelosi is holding up the vote on ENDA. Why? Because she says we don't have the votes. Except that we do have a majority in the House and in the Senate on ENDA.
After the jump is my full conversation with the Speaker's office. It's pretty telling.
