"You must see something in Frist that he's failed to display to date. Every time he's pressed, he folds up like a clothes hamper"

That's not quite right, freind. The two outstanding votes to go nuclear last time were DeWine and Graham, remember. That wasn't Frist's fault. The GOP in the gang of 14 have already said an ideological disagreement does not constitute an extraordinary circumstance. Even McCain said SCOTUS nominee will get up & down vote.

Either Frist establishes discipline or they'll run over him. So far, all I see are tire tracks.

^* Unless, of course, he can get some face time at the Sunday Screaming Faces shows, or some loving strokes by his best pals over at the New York Times.

That was then, what will McVain say when the chips are down...I trust him as far as I can throw him. And that ain't very far.
