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.
I never miss Hume and I didn't hear what you did. If that indeed is true, then the betrayal is way more then I thought. Frist was hood winked a dozen ways and made some statements about it. Apparently they are going to put it off until after this Memorial Holiday weekend, which is awful. I KNOW Senator Frist wanted the Bolton vote today or tomorrow. Not sure if they are in session tomorrow.
