Other than staining McCain's run amongst conservatives, I still see darned little that's good about this "deal". And unfortunately there's great potential for further RAT treachery and shenanigans.

I hope that the Sellout Seven pay heavily for this. I can't see McCainiac ever winning the presidency because most conservatives would rather stay at home than elect a RINO.

The true story of the "Compromise" cannot be written until it blows apart from its own internal contradictions. The MSM are celebrating this achievement (?) by JOHN McCAIN without knowing how it will come out.

We might as well celebrate the flight of the Hindenberg on its cross Atlantic flight, without waiting to observe its docking at that field in New Jersey. "Oh, the humanity...." comes to mind for some reason.

When a Center-Right guy like Hugh Hewitt gets mad with the Republicans in the Senate, you know they fumbled the ball big time.

"[The deal] took the nuclear option off the table. The nuclear option is gone for our lifetime. NOT now where did i put that little red button that says neclear option??

McCain vs. Hillary in 2008 is about the worst thing I can imagine at the moment. McCain must not be allowed to win the nomination!

You can wait til hell freezes over and you won't see any good about this deal.

This deal is going to work out. Either the 7 dems will not support filibusters, or they will and when we nuke them we'll have the votes. This was like a trial balloon to see how much "anger" would be stirred on both sides of the isle. And the answer has been A LOT.

McCain's run for president is officially over.

We need to be finding a strong, popular, republican governor to run against Hillary.

Did anyone catch Brit Hume tonight?

Did I hear this right - that it was President Bush who sent Dewine and Graham into this group to come up with the best compromise possible as Frist did NOT have the 51 votes to pull off the constitutional option as Specter would not commit to voting for it and without his vote, they were one vote short.

That is why Bush was not upset as he figured this was the best deal he could get at this time under the circumstances and could get some of his nominees through and still have the nuclear option on the table.

That seems to put this in a whole different light as I thought Frist had the votes.

Winners include Virginia's George Allen and Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney.""""

RUDY? Does Hugh Hewett think that Giuliani would give us good conservative judges? And does Hewitt seriously believe the GOP will, in effect, nominate Judith Nathan for First Lady? The strumpet that Rudy was openly committing adultery with in the face of his wife and kids? YEs, I know Reagan was married twice (not thrice like Rudy), but Reagan didn't commit open, flagrant, in-your-face adultery for all the world - and his wife and kids - to see. Rudy is NOT the candidate for a family values party, unless that party is totally cynical and utterly insincere, when it talks about family values.

I'll just add that while I used to scratch my head and say "What the h#ll are these people thinking?" when it came to Democrats, I now truly, and will forevermore loathe and despise both Democrats and RINOS and will work against them with renewed vigor from this day forward!

I'm not taking any prisoners, and Wisconsin is going down as a pseudo-Blue State, Baby! *Insert Solidarity Icon Here*
