The game rules are very unclear on this.

Unless someone could clarify those mechanics, the safest route would be to have 2 moderate to liberal Dems sponsor the bill, where we can be sure that their constituencies will be happy. Since KWhit has said that he has taken a knock to his popularity to increase his power, he, himself could probably benefit from being one co-sponsor to ensure his reelection.

I didn't even think about the angle of it being the most Dem role - yes, perhaps the sponsors should be two of EagleFan, Path12, and myself (as the middle 3 Dems).
