Good morning, fellow political junkies. Senate gets an early start today, ETA 8:30 am. Reid asked for it yesterday, Frist said No Problem, that surgeons start working at the crack of dawn. Hmmm?..Could the good doctor want to "operate" on some Dems today? Debate on Bolton will continue today..they've finished drying the carpet under Voinovich's desk. GOP filed cloture motion yesterday, the vote will be about 6PM tonite. Will the Dems filabuster? Lots of talk that many in the Dem caucus want this to go away, they are NOT happy with Biden and Dodd dragging this out. If the Dems concur, we could get a confirmation vote tonite.
Voting in 15 minutes!
Thank you.
OMG! I have the five year old today, so I will have to wrestle the TV from her, but wrestle it I shall!
Jordie is a cute name...
Frist looked around like he was looking for his "adversary", LOL
Voting in 15 mins, cyn.
Tell her Nickelodian went out of business! LOL
Martha I'm going to go ballistic if they fail on Bolton.
Did he? Looking for an adversary, huh? Where's McDNC?
Thanks!
I've got CSPAN2 on now.
good speech from Doc Nukem... "Bolton is the best the UN can get from us."
Senator Biden.. He graduated from the University of Delaware in 1965, and from the Syracuse University College of Law in 1968. Prior to his election to the Senate, Biden practiced law in Wilmington, Delaware and served on the New Castle County Council from 1970 to 1972. ...
First elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972,

If he graduated from College at the age of 22, he started in elected politics at the age of 27 and has NEVER done anything else since then (except teach a course at a law school.)
What a narrow life experience!
Good luck, I had my five year old this morning, and no way was I going to watch "that news stuff"....LOL
WHY am I feeling so dang nervous?
Nevermore! Nevermore! Nevermore!
Fits byrd to a "T"

Take good notes, all. Thanks!
BBL
She's GOOD. I've raised this one since she was 3 weeks old. She knows to yield the TV to me for GOP stuff...lol.
Relax.
CSPAN2 host just voiced over that the cloture vote will take place shortly then they expect to have the actual confirmation vote shortly thereafter.
The same schedule we've been hearing.
