Pawlenty the Gov and our Senator Norm Coleman both could be formidable VP candidates. Hate to lose them from their offices but to get Minnesota Red for the 1st time since 1972......

I loved the episode where he socialized with the dicatators.

Are there 2 nelsons or mistype?

Nelson of Florida and Nelson of Nebraska are two Democrats up for re-election in 2006 in states that voted Republican last election.

They know they will be defeated this year if they follow Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton, and Feinstein...

It's a good day for a happy dance! Next. SOTU! What a busy day!

"I'd like to categorize their actions but it would be unfair to the ladies of the oldest profession."
That's OK. You could always use "political prostitutes" which would be a direct quote from a well-known scoundrel Vladimir Lenin. As for hillary, fits like a glove.

[popdonnelly]

Very true. The Dems are stuck with their left wing and not much else.

[Terpfen]

Nelson of Nebraska, Nelson of Florida.

Nelson of Florida is my Senator, and he's up for reelection this year.

Two Nelsons voted Aye

CSPIN has gone completely over the edge. Giving totally crazy people a chance to call in with the most outrageous conspiracy theories.....and they're all on the 'republican' line.

What a joke.

[Theodore R.]

Does this mean that the White House will still fight tooth and nail to nominate Chafee in the Republican primary?

[Anti-Bubba182]

I am watching C-Span and they sure are taking their time with announcing the vote results.

Get the moderator to change your numbers when they're final. Last count was 73 aye

[AlphaOneAlpha]

"It is absolutely disgusting that the two NJ Senators, Lautenberg and Menedez voted against a "native son". The could have at least had the decency to vote "Present" if not a yes."

Both of these 2nd rate guys got into the Senate via Democrat manipulation. Politics trumps everything in NJ and their vote was to be expected

[newzjunkey]

Tell Kennedy to put his clothes back on!

[Revolting cat!]

[icwhatudo]

Graham-AYE

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

PJ is going to have so much comic material that he could get three, four maybe even five threads out of their meltdown from just today.

[Purrcival]

I think the Maha Rushie referred to them as "il castrati" today (?)
