I heard the same argument on Jim Bohannan's show and don't think I quite buy it.

The most notable development in this "deal" is something that very few people have mentioned -- and that is the absence of Arlen Specter (one of the most radical liberals in the U.S. Senate, regardless of party affiliation) from that group of seven GOP senators who brokered the agreement.
Anyone who thinks George W. Bush came this far in politics only to have his executive appointments held up by an old, mediocre inbred like Robert Byrd is really delusional.

What seems to escape the analysts is the statement that only those seven dems will refrain from filibuster.....
Nothing precludes those who didn't sign from filibustering.

Perhaps it's just me, but I don't think that surrender is a winning strategy.
