The long over used “race card” is the last refuge of a scoundrel. When that is played, it is a sure sign that the debate is over and lost.
“The only thing surprising about this story is that seven Senate Democrats broke from Obama to oppose this nominee. Could they be running for re-election this year and vulnerable? Wow, they’re not even giving their names in the article. Wonder why.”
I think that the reason for omission is simple. provide cover for these RATs.
Here is the list:
Democrats Bob Casey of Pennsylvania
Chris Coons of Delaware
Joe Donnelly of Indiana
Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota
Joe Manchin III of West Virginia
Mark Pryor of Arkansas
John Walsh of Montana
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., also voted no in order to preserve his right to reconsider the vote.
Coons’ vote surprises me. He’s not very vulnerable in Delaware.
