Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Ted Kaufman (D-Del.) predicted on Wednesday that Republicans that are retiring or up for re-election later this year will soon be changing their stances on Wall Street reform.

"We would love to see some bipartisanship on this bill," said Brown. "I think we will see it."

Brown added that certain Republicans are already beginning to change their minds about the legislation. As evidence, he cited the decision by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who faces re-election this fall, to vote with Democrats in the Senate Agriculture Committee on a derivatives regulation bill.

"If you look at a list of what Republicans are up for re-election in 2010 you might correspond to bet who ends up voting procedurally to get this bill moving," said Brown.
