"You are being incredibly naive about the Senate"

I have concluded you are a simpleton when it comes to what makes Washington, DC tick. As I said before, if you think you have to ask jerks like Chaffee, Snowe, and the rest for their blessing, then you've shown you are completely weak. Bush's approval is low because he is showing he's totally weak. He let Brown swing in the wind when neither Brown nor FEMA were at fault over Katrina--the Dems in NO were responsible and if Bush had any sense he would have said so and defended Brown. He ran from that fight. And he is running scared now.

If I believe your line, that the Republicans in the Senate are too weak to do anything even though they have a majority, then it appears the Republicans are finished.

I see you've convinced yourself--probably as a way of defending Bush--that it was hopeless anyway, so better to have picked unknown stealth candidates in the hope they might not be too bad.

IMO, it's Republicans like you that aid and abet the RINOs, they know they can do what they want and there will be no consequences.

Well, whatever. I am going to bed. Feel free to continue to insult me. I just flat out don't care about your opinion.

The nomination is done. We will find out in due time who was right.
