think of dem senators from red states who want to be re-elected.

Ok, I'm thinking that these 12 are up in 2008.

Arkansas: Pryor (D) Delaware: Biden (D) Illinois: Durbin (D) Iowa: Harkin (D) Louisiana: Landrieu (D) Massachusetts: Kerry (D) Michigan: Levin (D) Montana: Baucus (D) New Jersey: Lautenberg (D) Rhode Island: Reed (D) South Dakota: Johnson (D) West Virginia: Rockefeller (D)

What is more conservative is simply the GOP caucus, because Chafee is gone.

I don't think so. chafee is gone but so is santorum, allen, talent and burns.

[PA-RIVER]

It is time to play hard ball with this clown Schumer.

The President needs to throw a political fastball at his head and bean him good.

[PA-RIVER]

I am dead serious. Get her on the court, get a few decisions under her belt. Then let Chuck try to fire her.

First Nominate her. Let her go to the judiciary comittee. Let Schumer then refuse an up or down vote. Then appoint her in recess because Shcumer refuses to allow senate to fulfill its advise and consent obligation. Then let her appear in pictures with all the other SCOTUS members.

Make Schumer eat a fastball. SCREW HIM!!!!

To think of all the Republicans who blithely voted for Ginsburg and Breyer out of respect for Senate traditions..... from now on it is political warfare all the way!!

They did the right thing.....before Bush II, out of hundreds of SCOTUS nominees in 220 years only a couple have been rejected by the Senate.....Presidents deserved fair treatment of their choices.

There isn't a problem here...judicial appointments are the one area where power inherently lies with the President, not the Senior Senator from New York.

Bush might not get anything else done, but Alito/Roberts like judges should squeak through.

[zendari]

1 is enough. Now that Chafee is gone, we don't have any more complete backstabbers.

[zeebee]

How about Santorum for SCOTUS?

[SoldierDad]

From reports in the Lame Stream Media that I heard, the Dem's only won those House and Senate seats by around 50,000 nation wide votes total. That's not much of a "mandate" IMHO. If the dem's don't perform, that majority could easily disappear in the next election cycle.

We tried the honey approach rather than the vinegar approach, and it worked.”

If this last election was their honey approach, I'd hate to SEE their vinegar approach!

They are so full of BS. They will always take the low road; they don't know how to do anything else.

[Princip. Conservative]

Another Democratic Fool

[Jezebelle]

Huh? Do you mean to say that staying home or voting rat last week will lead to still more far-left judges??

Why, imagine that!!!!!!!

[Jezebelle]

No judge who doesn't believe wholeheartedly in the leftist agenda will ever get out of committe.

Way to go, GOP!!

[Jezebelle]

Schumer, Reid, Pelosi and the rest will have the freshmen rat congressman and junior senators locked into their far-left agenda before the new term even starts.

If we had a responsible media, they would put these people on record saying what they will and will not vote for (and against) as they fulfill their new responsibilities to the voters who ushered them in.

[GodBlessAmericaKD]

You know, it strikes me as funny - when Republicans held a 10 vote majority we were lambasted by the Rats saying we needed to work together, share power, etc. These Rats have a 2 vote majority in the Senate and they want to rule the country with an iron fist. Our way or the highway.

I just hope that the noodle spined "leaders" in the Republican party learn from this, get their act together and start acting like conservatives again, or these power-hungry liberals will use this power (that they feel is their birth right) to remake this country in to France and contribute to the decline of our great country - another step in the fall of the modern Roman Empire.

[mewzilla]

Rove-like, you say??? Plans permanent Rat majority, you say??? May he enjoy the same success that Karl Rove did this year.

Better '06 than '08....

[Liz]

I just hope that the noodle spined "leaders" in the Republican party learn from this, get their act together and start acting like conservatives again........

Amen and amen.

"Hey, you peons! Move that copy of the Constitution
a bit closer so I can get a better shot at it!"

[Liz]

About the size of it, alright.

[TommyDale]

That is 4 out of how many? 6 Senate, 26 House?

[Nancee]

There is only so much damage this "gentleman" can bring about all by himself!
