Very good article. Ben Nelson is from Nebraska and Bill Nelson is from Florida; however, they both have the same problem. I understand Nelson and Hagel are in trouble, and that's why Hagel backed away from the "McCainiacs".

They came. They saw. They wimped.

I understand Nelson and Hagel are in trouble, and that's why Hagel backed away from the "McCainiacs".

Hagel and Specter weren't needed, so they remain crypto-filibusterers. (people who don't have to show their real intentions) That means we are at least four votes short. And I figure there are at least two or three more Democrats in deeper Republican cover. They vote Republican as long as their vote is meaningless.

Democrats can pretend to be decent people while it is almost impossible for a Republican to impersonate a pro-abortion, pro-gay, pro-tax Democrat. It's almost like a gang initiation where you have to kill somebody to get in.
