Today, Senator Arlen Specter (R - PA) announced during a speech in the Senate that he will NOT support this legislation (at this time). Actually, what he said was that he will not vote to stop an expected Republican filibuster. This would have the same effect, as 60 votes are needed to pass the bill.
This comes after reports of activity over the weekend by Starbucks, Costco and Whole Foods to offer a compromise version, which has received a "luke-warm" reception at best.
With the announcement by the Senator, this would be a moot point.
We'll keep an eye on this, and see what happens next.
