Just saw Graham on Fox say that if any of the seven Rats filibuster any judges in this congress he will withdraw his pledge to prevent the nuc option.... the beat goes on...Frist needs to get the next batch on deck for debate.
Graham already looking for cover - he screwed up big time here - a political calculation gone bad! He was backpeddling as fast as he could on Hannity today but Sean didn't let him off the hook easy. He was making more excuses for this than a 5 year old with his hand in the cookie jar. He will rue the day he became associated with this come re-election time as it will be expensive to have a primary fight against a real conservative - certainly one can be found in all of South Carolina. And any hope of a national office is gone forever - none of these republican turn-coats could win national primaries.
The senators from S. Carolina and Ohio should have known better - they get paid to make the tough choices, and this was a cowards way out!
Saw him on the Senate Floor last night with the same "they better behave or I'll change my vote" pitch. Not sure what he and Foghorn Leghorn were thinking but I bet Warner is catching major hurt in the cloak room; DeWine has not surfaced yet, probably can't get off the phone. Even Warner was on FOX with Hume last night trying to explain away his foolishness. The old Fart is no better than Byrd....Both view themselves through the lens of Senior Senatorial Orators in the company of the likes of Daniel Webster...Guess they don't realise how pompous and senile they sound. Time for the home and rocking chair for both.
I think the good news, if there is any here, may be that if the nuke option becomes necessary again there will be no more compromises and the Rats know it...This may yet work and if it does Reid has led the Rats into a hole the will find dark and deep.
