"Rush also anticipated McCain's fence-sitting (as he did on Hannity tonight)."
We need not be worried. John McCain wants to be President, and if he comes down against Alito (barring something very unforseen), his chances of winning the GOP nomination are zilch. I think that McCain, in his ambition, will be the one who puts Alito over the top and squelches any possible filibuster.

Yes the timing of this battle is very fortuitous. It almost reminds me of President Bush's battle to get Senate approval for the language of War with Iraq just before the last midterm election. That was a smashing political victory and I think we have another one in the making.
Note my tagline. I sometimes wonder how much difference it has made getting little tommy d out of the Senate. Just an idle musing...
