According to TPM & Porkbusters...

   ...only these five Senators have refused to unequivocally deny holding
   up transparency and accountability reform:

   Byrd, Robert C.- (D - WV) Gregg, Judd- (R - NH) Hatch, Orrin G.- (R -
   UT) Stevens, Ted- (R - AK) Bennett, Robert F.- (R - UT) - a staffer
   denied, but not unequivocally

   All 95 other Senators have unequivocally denied the hold.

   I think the smart money at this point is indeed on either Robert Byrd
   or Ted Stevens. Even Crapo has now gone public with an official "no."

   Last night I thought this might all be much ado about nothing, but I
   now think I was wrong. With proper delaying, this thing could
   effectively be buried despite its wide bipartisan support. Hopefully
   you folks in West Virginia, New Hampshire, Utah, and Arkansas will
   contact your Senators. You can find their contact information easily
   [1]right here.

   (Oh and by the way, four Republicans and one Democrat? Republicans
   like to talk big on ending wasteful spending, but apparently they're
   all talk eh?)
