WASHINGTON -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday announced she'll join potential 2008 presidential rival John Kerry in voting to filibuster against Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, just as top Democratic leaders predicted the effort is likely doomed.
With three Democratic senators pledging support for Alito, the New Jersey conservative seems virtually assured of being confirmed by the full Senate Monday or Tuesday, party leaders predicted Friday.

Oh...I got it, all right.
And, Lucy pulled the football out from under Charlie Brown...again.
The 'Rats would do well to read your posts.
But, I don't think they will ever learn...hopefully. ;o)
Don't you just know there are plenty of Jr. 'Rats who are cringing,
while watching their "leadership" ruin the party?
Mine was a lame attempt at humor.
And, I mean lame.

"dems pulling their own football away from themselves"
May it ever be thus. ;o)
You know...I have never been a person to wish ill on anyone.
And, I don't have to wish it on them.
They are taking care of business ALL on their own.

I love the game of politics; this is NOT a game anymore. It's a fight to the death, IMO. And it's for this country. Very well put!

She can now support it will no downside. She knows it will fail and probably not even be tried, but she can appeal to the leftist whackjob base.
