Just saw the tail end of Ben Nelson with Judy on CNN. He won't divulge details but thinks he's close to a deal. The sound is down at work but that's what I read on the captioning. Anyone else see that?
I still don't understand what the "deal" would be - but it sounds like what it would mean is that this group of moderate Ds and Rs would agree to scuttle some of the nominees - by agreeing not to vote for them.
In other words, all nominees would go to a floor vote - where this group of senators would have agreed in advance whom to approve, and whom to reject. That would involve, for example, a group of Rs not voting for Janice Rogers Brown or Owens. I can't see this "deal" playing out any other way if it happens.
