Sen. Scott Brown: "I think it's a really positive first step..."
Sen. John Barrasso: "I'm very impressed. There's a lot of support in there."
Sen. Tom Coburn: "In the next 24 hours, you are going to see a significant portion of the Senate come behind this, bipartisan..."
Sen. Mike Johanns: "This is a very thoughtful, serious plan."
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison: "I think it's a fair compromise."

Sen. Johnny Isakson: "It was a good meeting" and the plan has "got a lot of merit."
Sen. Saxby Chambliss: "We were very pleased with the reaction."
Sen. Mike Crapo: "I think the Senate is ready to look to a very large plan and a big piece of the solution."
[John McRINOs buddy] Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I): "The feeling in the room was `embrace.'...Sign me up...I think it could get 60 votes."
