The Bernanke Whip Count: 55-23

Update I: Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) announced this afternoon that he will support Bernanke. Update II: Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Sam Brownback (R-KS) said they will vote against Bernanke. Update III: Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) will vote in favor of Bernanke. Update IV: Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) will vote against the nomination.

While Treasury Sec. Tim Geithner and ex-Treas. Sec. Hank Paulson endure a grilling before the House Oversight and Gov't Reform Cmte today, Fed Chair Ben Bernanke appears to be safely en route to reconfirmation.

The latest Hotline tally shows 55 senators committed or leaning toward voting in favor, while 23 have said they will vote no. Bernanke must have 60 supporters to make it to a second term, according to Senate rules.

Amid signs of increasing support for the embattled Fed chief, Senate Maj. Leader Harry Reid has scheduled a vote on Bernanke's reconfirmation for 1:30 p.m. tomorrow, following a vote on raising the nat'l debt limit. Bernanke's term ends on Sunday.

Just 22 senators remain uncommitted, down from 35 yesterday afternoon. Many of those remaining mum have cited concerns about Bernanke's record during his first years in office.

A complete vote-count, compiled by Hotline OnCall, after the jump. Check back ahead of tomorrow's vote and we'll keep you updated with the latest tallies.
