The Democrats are on the wrong side of this issue. Frist would not have the Senate here unless he was quite sure the process is acceptable to a majority of the Senators. I think the people will come to agree with Frist's and the GOP's position, nominees deserve a vote - not confirmation, but a vote.
The bloggers will not play a big part in this, other than educating people who want to understand. The matter will be played out on the public stage of the Senate floor.
