We hold both houses and the presidency which allows an easier (not easy, but easier) process. Frist can still go nuclear if he needs to. And part of me thinks they have been holding fire until this exact fight.
Second, the liberals no longer have a monopoly on the msm. We own talk radio, and we have a fairer outlet in FoxNews...which owns the cable race. Plus, the Internet is making serious headway.
Grassroots/red states are more solid than they have been for years. Despite the carping.
So see...we have lots to be thankful for. It could be much, much worse.
As an aside, I don't think anyone has mentioned the reality that today is Friday. While I do believe the President knows who he will pick, I doubt he'll let the MSM have the weekend cycle to jump ahead in the PR battle. Talk radio and most cable shows for our side take the weekend off.
Sessions up on FOX.
