Strong support from Democrats contrasts with Republican qualms about party funding and constitutional challenges.

GOP leaders cite Senate votes to pass Bush plan

Key figures claim momentum while some Democrats privately acknowledge a narrow GOP victory may be possible. The budget outlines a 10 year, 1.6 trillion dollar tax cut and slower federal spending growth, with VP Cheney able to break ties in the 50 50 chamber.
