“On the nomination, don’t hope for filibusters though. The President deserves up or down votes on these folks, although I am all for slow-walking nominees like Solis and Holder who dont give straight answers.”
The president deserves an up and down vote on a tax cheat to be head of the U.S. Treasury? Oh really? No. He deserves an up and down vote on a decent nominee. He does not deserve and up and down vote on a crook.
BTW, I agree with your efforts to contact our Senators with your message. I think it’s important that we do.

Yes, Geitner deserved a vote, even if it should have been 0-99 against and utter humiliation for Obama for daing to put him forward. ;-)
