Clarification: you mean the Dems are not going to filibuster Brown or Owens for fear of ticking off women and blacks?
Well John Kerry is up on the Senate floor giving his first 2008 campaign speech---
He is hopping mad that the Republicans, talk radio, and the internet are smearing ole Voinivich for standing up for principle!!! yeah, right...principle my butt, he has been bought off by Soros, is my guess...
Now he is saying how mean the Republicans are because "every body knows" that the US Constitution was based on catering to the MINORITY not the majority, and also the GOP call people bad names....
WHA, WHA, WHA.....cry me a river, you traitor!
Yes given the distrust that Blacks have with the filbuster, Dems will let them both thru and save the fight for the next bunch of nominees.
