Weicker has said that if he does run, it'll be as an Independent. I hope he does.

We must raise money for candidates, even if they are not running in our states.

Another reason to repeal the 17th amendment.

Do you really want these angry people from New York, Massachusetts, and California messing with the selection of Senators in Hawaii, West Virginia, the Dakotas, and Delaware?

What he's saying is this:

51% of the respondents were democrats.

29% of those democrats were liberal/progressives.

29% = 58% of the 51%, thus the liberal/progressives are the majority of those democrats polled.

i.e. .58 x 51 = 29.58 or 29 1/2%. That's how he got his figures.

It's accurate as far as it goes. How he judges that 29% of those democrats polled are liberal/progressive must have something to do with how the poll was constructed.

Yeah, and that's before you factor in the differntial of actual voting propensity, which is positively correlated to other attributes such as knowledge, self-discipline, attention-span, and remembering to pre-validate your voter registration.

We only needed 40 of the 45 Democrats to sustain a filibuster."

There are only 44 democrats in the Senate not 45.

But they're only 14.8% of the electorate. Unfit to rule, unable to think, the hell with them.

Beautiful last few days for us:

1. Alito confirmation assured
2. Dean bankrupts the DNC...seriously damaging their 2006 prospects
3. Senate minority leader Dingy Harry took $60K from Abramoff

LOL

America gets violent and are we "conversatives" ready for it?

Actually a rather large number of us are hoping for it. We will not initiate but will be more then happy to respond to it. These scum owe the country a blood debt for what they did some 35 years ago. Only by staying within the law do they avoid being called to account. They can take the gloves off any time. We wish they would.

"saying "had he voted against cloture on Alito the motion would have failed and Alito would have been filibustered"

Oh wow. I like the way you think.
