According to the latest news, Prodi seems to be in even greater danger.

Prodi has lost another two critical senators, Fisichella and Pallaro, reducing the number of elected government senators to 152.

Fisichella has outright declared that he will vote against the government, no matter what (Prodi had been attempting to secure his vote).

Pallaro, for some unspecified reason, will not be present to vote tomorrow in the Senate. Therefore, after these two calculations, the opposition has gained one vote, and the Unione lost two.

The way things are going, not even all 7 life senators could save Prodi now.

Today he went up to the presidential palace to speak with the President Giorgio Napolitano. He is reflecting on whether to resign before the vote in the Senate, or ride it out. In any case, he will wait until after the vote-of-confidence in the Chamber of Deputies, where Prodi holds a comfortable majority.
