It's NJ. We only need two things:
1. Vote for Frist

2. Don't filibuster judges

. The rest can be handled.

I have gotten in trouble for saying the same thing.

Indeed we have 55 senators. 53 solidly conservative votes that we can count on we the going gets tough. If we can just get the remaining 2 and 5 more to show up during a filibuster then we can take care of the rest. It would give them perfect coverage for back home, just show up - but if you must to protect your own back then vote no.

Is your arithmetic off? I count Chafee as totally useless,, Collins, and Snowe totally unreliable, and Specter and McCain totally unpredictable.
