and Democrats would vow not to use such tactics against any circuit court or Supreme Court nominee except in "extreme circumstances."

Not even the Republicans are that stupid, are they?

"It's hard to say. There's a lot of cross-pressures. There's a lot of activity on both extremes of the political spectrum,"

LMAO! There's ol' John McCain, the good guy in the "mainstream" middle (ie., NOT an "extremist"), who America needs as its President. Yessirree, here comes the Straight Talk Express, the little engine that could.

In an interview with CBS this morning, McCain calmed the fears of the anchor by assuring her that he would vote against giving the nominees a vote.

Dya think Snowe and Collins want to get to the head of the line on reconsideration of base closings? Or do they want the woodshed again?

Arlen wouldn't dare, would he?

I'm not sure who gets to be the 5th one. I bet a number of the squishy middle are fighting over it! Anyway, I think Specter's role will be to bottle up some nominees in Committee. 7 of 12 renominees are still in committee. A behind the scenes action is ALWAYS underway.

-IF- it comes to a stalled vote on the floor of the Senate, I doubt Specter will vote against imposing a simple majority for calling the vote on the nominee presently under consideration.

I guess it depends upon what he finds in Scottish law.

"Who does McCain have besides Chaffee?"

Most importantly, does Matthews know about Chaffee?? ;-)

Heck if I know who will actually ultimately discredit and embarrass themselves along with McCain (D).

I think the base closings and realignments will be decided more or less independently of how the nomination process goes down. If they can make a case for keeping the bases open, then they will be.
