Well, I don't like him, but he's the first Dem I've seen who has said that they've got to win elections rather than attempt to use procedure to do it for them. Going back to the old "winning the election" strategy would be a massive plus for the entire country.
But then, they've probably done polls and found out that people are sick of their attempt at a procedural coup.

Hi, boys and girls. Can you say "positioning"? I knew you could. Sure.

Exactly...this is the first quote on Alito I've seen by a Democrat that actually makes sense!
Are they coming back to reality?

Democrats fear he would shift the court rightward on abortion rights, affirmative action, the death penalty and other issues. Well, duh....

But then, they've probably done polls and found out that people are sick of their attempt at a procedural coup. You can bet they've done polls alright. It cracks me up that they are having a "mainstream" dem (i.e. not foaming at the mouth with hair on fire) rebutt the president's SOTU speech Tues. night. What are the odds they'd pick a "no-name" dem for the rebuttal if their numbers weren't in the tank?

Obama is the Democrats answer to 204 years without a black man representing the Democratic Party in the Senate.
They are such Progressives.

Those great, bedrock, core American values of sodomy and abortion are at stake.

"There's one way to guarantee that the judges who are appointed to the Supreme Court are judges that reflect our values. And that's to win elections," Obama said.Osama obama has been listening to the MahaRushie. The demonRATs will not listen to him, he is starting to make sense. If he makes any more reasonable, public statements, the RATS will make reference to the fact that his mother is white, therefore, he is really just a "rich white guy". Can't have any stray'en from the plantation, "You know what I'm talk'en 'bout".

For Democrats to say they will vote one way or the other prior to the actual vote is like Osama Bin Laden offering a "truss." These guys and gals are rotten eggs and are not trustworthy. I'll wait for Tuesday to count my chickens.

To more effectively oppose Supreme Court nominees in the future, Democrats need to convince the public "their values are at stake" rather than use stalling tactics to try to thwart the president, said a senator who opposes Samuel Alito's confirmation. Since the Democrat's "values" conflict with the values of most Americans, how is this new strategy going to work?

The strategy Obama is suggesting is to win elections. If the Dems can convince the public that "their values are at stake" then more people will vote Democratic.
Problem for Dems, tho, is they have no values...
