Rumor mill says Chaffee will vote against Alito. DEMs are in a pickle! If the confirmation vote is between 50 and 60, the moonbat wing will come down HARD on DEM leadership.
Time to throw Reid under the bus. I wonder if Durbin would step up to be majority leader ;-)
Swimmer:.."carried into a ladies room?"..WHAT!!!!is he serious??is he sober
I will go out on a limb and predict Snowe votes to confirm. Has she voted against many other GWB nominees? I am not sure but I doubt it. So Alito gets at least 57 votes (without Chafee,) or 58 if you include Conrad. I am still hopeful Landrieu, Bayh, and Menendez vote yes so Alito could get over 60. A narrow margin compared to the old days, but a landslide victory in the Demo-poisoned atmosphere of today.
I would love to see only 52 or 53 to confirm for strategy reasons. The moonbat base would all move to Canada and stay home in November. I think it's our BEST shot at picking up seats in Nov. Gosh, today sure feels like Christmas. ;)
