Good Thursday morning, fellow political junkies. Today's cloture vote on the Pryor nomination is scheduled at 4:PM. Follow along with us, here, and comment...

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I'm going with All Pubs + Nelson of nebraska...

56 against however many DemonicRats plus Jeffers show up to vote.

(Anne Coulter needs to have children ASAP to pass on her gene pool....any volunteers?)

She needs to get preggers just so she'd have a figure!!!! Man! Is she skinny.

[Kitten1]

I volunteer to hold the key once he's safely inside.

Goodness, the difference in clarity between he and Sessions is breath(alyzer) taking.

[Chuck54]

OUCH!

[Fudd Fan]

Sheets voted for Owen so I'm guessing he'll vote for anyone as long as they aren't black

WHOA!

Reid just said that if W names JRB to the SC, she will be filabustered..judhes have always been filabustered..

Bolton plan?..Reid was that W is OBSTRUCTING the vote on Bolton..no vote unless W gives them the info they want..until Dodd and Biden are satisfied..no vote ..

[RayBob]

My guess is that the yes votes will be 54 GOP (Chaffee will vote no) plus Nelson. 55-44, with the HI senator missing the vote.

[Txsleuth]

For those of us that have screaming 5 years olds, could you please pass on what Reid says on CNN about Bolton?

I would appreciate it!!!

[Fudd Fan]

I'm series! I'm impressed!

[NeoCaveman]

Thanx

[Fudd Fan]

Leaky just means that *supposedly* some senators have told him they'd vote differently if the ballots were secret. Well duh! Then they'd have no accountability, and what good would they be? I know, I know, what good are they NOW?

[Bahbah]

Frist is on the floor. Time for the vote? I'm going to stick my neck out with a 58 for.

[hipaatwo]

Give the 5 year old a cookie! LOL

I turned Reid off, Pres fault because he won't give classifed info (which Reid termed just simple info)to Dodd and plugs and unless he does, no vote on Bolton. So basically same old same old.

Absence never stopped Dim voters in Washington State

Neither did Death.

[Fudd Fan]

That makes me think of graphics that are all we need for certain senators:

Leahy = Otis
Feingold = Soupy Sales
Specter = Nosferatu
FatTed = too many to count

[Txsleuth]

THank you for passing that along.,..


So the dems are saying that Bush is obstructing by not playing games with them---they just can't get over the fact that as President, he has priviledges that they don't...

I think he should just use his "executive priviledge"--and tell them to vote already!

Actually, I hope he is letting them hang themselves on Bolton, and then will make him a recess appointment in July.

[JustaCowgirl]

I'll go on record as 56-43-1. More optimistic after yesterday.

[Fudd Fan]

the difference in clarity between he and Sessions is breath(alyzer) taking

ROFL!

[okstate]

Put me down for 55-43-2 (Nelson (NE) votes for; Chafee votes against; Inouye and Jeffords don't vote)

[FaithintheRight]

Tks kitten
