An hour ago, we asked readers to call their GOP senators and ask whether they put a hold on the nomination of Neil Barofsky to a key post overseeing the Treasury Department's use of bailout money.

We've already heard back from readers on four senators...

Sen. Tom Coburn (OK) -- A reader reports that Coburn's office "was absolutely categorical. They publicize all their holds and they have not placed one on Barofsky."

Sen. James Inhofe (OK) -- "His staff said that they 'didn't believe' that the Senator had placed such a hold.

Sen. Jeff Sessions (AL) -- Sessions' legislative director told a reader: "Not to my knowledge."

Sen. Richard Shelby (AL) -- A staffer told our reader: "I don't think so. If he had, I would have heard about it." (Shelby is the ranking Republican on the Senate banking committee, which cleared Barofsky's nomination two weeks ago.)

Keep letting us know what you hear...
