Of my representatives in Congress (Don Beyer, Tim Kaine, and Mark Warner), only Mark Warner is still undecided.

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) is a yes, as well. 36. At least that's what Josh Earnest says.

Now that it is established that there is enough support in the Senate to sustain his veto, does everyone agree that President Obama is a lock to get that 41st vote he needs to maintain a filibuster, and prevent this disapproval resolution from ever reaching his desk?

Democrats Who Voted For Disapproval
Brad Ashford (NE-2)
Brendan F. Boyle (PA-13)
Tony Cárdenas (CA-29)
Ted Deutch (FL-21)
Elliot Engel (NY-16)
Lois Frankel (FL-22)
Gwen Graham (FL-2)
Gene Green (TX-29)
Alcee Hastings (FL-20)
Steve Israel (NY-3)
Ted Lieu (CA-33)
Dan Lipinski (IL-3)
Nita Lowey (NY-17)
Carolyn Maloney (NY-12)
Grace Meng (NY-6)
Grace Napolitano  (CA-32)
Donald Norcross (NJ-1)
Collin Peterson (MN-7)
Kathleen Rice (NY-4)
David Scott (GA-13)
Brad Sherman (CA-30)
Kyrsten Sinema (AZ-9)
Albio Sires (NJ-8)
Juan Vargas (CA-51)
Filemon Vela (TX-34)
Hopefully all of them get solid primary challenges. With Lipinski, Peterson, Vela, Boyle, Norcross, Green, Sinema and Ashford, a generic Republican would be no worse.
Ashford, Peterson, and Graham have to vote this way to get through the GE. The NY guys are voting w/ their district (Jews hate the deal) you know, what congressmen are actually supposed to do. Beyond that you may have a point.

You mean Orthodox and Conservative Jews who are especially concentrated in New York and New Jersey.  Most Jews who are not members of those branches are as supportive of the Iran nuclear deal as any Democrat.
