My completely uninformed opinion is that the report was done earlier in the week. Then there was a lot of arguing behind the curtain about when the report would be released with the Dems demanding Friday and the Repubs wanting immediately. This feels like the compromise.

AND Murkowski only won the General Election because democrats voted for her, knowing she would be as likely as not to support them anyway, also figuring the Dem in the race wasn’t going to win.

I just heard that the FBI supplemental report will be available to the Senators tomorrow. Whether there’s cloture or not, I don’t know. BUT McConnell seemed pretty sure there’d be a vote on Saturday.

Its been pointed out to me by several Alaskans & former Alaskans that the denizens of the state only want you to think they’re rugged independent individualists. Thats just for the reality TV shows. They’re really quite content with being on the dole.

That's true. Also, when I was there, I noticed that alcoholism is a huge problem. Many people are on the dole, and drunk.

Every place has its problems, and people are sinners all over. But I think the Alaska of 40 or 50 years ago is what many people think Alaska is like now. It isn't.

No place, except perhaps the middle east really is.

I wish Palin would announce as a write-in to challenge Murkowski if she votes no. If we are going to lose the Kavanaugh vote it would be worth taking a chance that the dem would win. It would not surprise me if Palin won and it would be so sunny seeing her beat MurCOWski using the same tactic she used in 2010.

Speaking of Alaska, I always get a kick out of this photo with the ice machine out front.

Yes, apparently it IS possible to sell ice to the Eskimos!

Hasn’t she announced that she is leaving the state?
