Trying to get a handle on the procedures to come..

Voinovich said, IIRC, that he would hope the committee will send the nominee to the full senate with NO recomendation..so that means that someone will have to make the motion that way..because if it's to endorse, and V votes against, it fails 9-9...unless Chaffee has already changed his mnd..MY take, the Dems will allow Voinovich to make his motion..so send without a recommendation..and the vote will be unanimous 18-0..it makes the dems look good..

Chafee is going to lose his re-election bid in '06.

he does need the party to give him a fighting chance because he's broke. Chafee has to give Bush something in return to get funding. that is why he'll probably vote for Bolton.

They keep saying over and over that "these people came forward on their own." Right.

They don't seem to understand that WE have a different "policy view" than the whiners he's talking to.

Cafee is up now

'Nother Cyber Lib Prediction: Chaff's about to stab Bolton in the back. I bet he's the "designated cave-in" for the day.

Can I barf now?

I'll join you. There are never repercussions for their statements that they do in that smarmy, phony 'elected official' way.

Maybe thaty's their point..Frist's nuclear option inlcued the pledge that it would only be invoked for judicial nominees...so the GOP will have to "sawallow" Bolton's filabuster..otherwise they'll look bad when the SC nominees come up

"The trolls are usually insulting and will only post one nasty thing and suddenly disappear! You will do fine!"

Well seeing as you and the other troll supporters have told this one exactly how to behave so he ISN"T booted, of course he will do fine.
