Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR) To Back ENDA

A spokesman for Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR) has announced his plan to vote for ENDA, leaving only one Democratic holdout in the chamber. Via the Arkansas Times:

Pryor, with West Virginia's Joe Manchin, was one of only two Democrats who had not said they would vote for the legislation, which has had a long and difficult history in Congress. It was approved in the House in 2007 but stymied by Senate filibusters. Gay rights groups think they now have enough Democrat and Republican votes to beat a Senate filibuster and Sen. Harry Reid announced this week that he intended to bring the measure to a vote. Passage in the Republican controlled House remains unlikely.

That brings us to 58 of the 60 votes necessary to stymie any filibuster. (Tipped by JMG reader Brandon)
