Which supercommittee member is most likely to defect?

I’ve seen Baucus vote favorably to the Bush Administration’s economic policies. However, would he have appointed by Reid if the party leadership thought Baucus would be the easiest to pry?

Any other likely candidates?

I agree he seems most likely, but I’d still place the odds on a stalemate at >50% despite the Damocles’ sword hanging above them.

I predict no one will defect, nor will the mandatory cuts occur. Congress will pass a new law undoing the law that created the super committee, and everyone will live to fight another day. Except for the Tea Baggers, whose heads will explode.

If so, at least some good will have come from it all.
