To little to late...but thanks for the vote.

[Aetius]

Would he do the same if he were the decisive vote?

I doubt it. Nelson is good for a Democrat and better than some Republicans, but I doubt it.

Every little bit helps.

This means a RINO agreed to vote for Kagan so Ben could repair his image back home.

No. Any vote against her confirmination is only to fool the peasants. There will be more than enough votes for her confirmation.

The voters really done themselves proud in 2006 and 2008. Soon they will learn for themselves how proud they can be.

He’s scrambling to save his sorry ass .... I hope Nebraskans are smarter than that.

[MHGinTN]

Harry ‘the serpent’ Reid has more than enough votes to confirm the slug, so some of the vulnerable criminal party memebrs will be allowed to feign non-support for the commie slug.

[Soul Seeker]

If he was the 41st to filibuster then it would mean something.

Just pandering and worth nothing.

[shield]

He must feel he is in trouble with his constitutes...now he is acting like a republican lite...

[nonliberal]

I believe it. There is no courage here as Kagan will likely be confirmed.

I have a good friend in Omaha who tells me that Nelson is still booed out of restaurants for his health care vote.

[Husker24]

This wont work, we remember the health care vote.

[Ballygrl]

I’m sure he was given permission to vote no, they have the votes to confirm her, so they’re giving him an out on this.

[Tzimisce]

Dems must have enough votes to confirm her without Nelson....

[PhiloBedo]

No, I don’t believe it. He’s signaling that he wants a little retirement money to change his vote.

[PaleoBob]

There’s no kickback in it for Ben so what the hey.

[Mr Rogers]

It means:

A) The Democrats have the votes, and

B) Nelson is worried and trying to get conservative credentials back.

I say, donate to his opponent and do your best to throw the bastard out at election time...which I think is 2012 for him.

[Minn]

I wonder if the little Republican fairy from Carolina has heard about this.

[Candor7]

He’s trolling. Wants to be bought.

[kara2008]

Nelson's "NO" vote is flat out insincere, disingenuous and deceitful. It's totally misleading and Levin talked about it on his show tonight...

The last sentence in the article states:

"Nelson did note that if a procedural vote is held on Kagan, he will NOT filibuster, since he believes Kagan deserves an up or down vote."

So, he will VOTE yes to bring an up and down vote and will vote NO on Keagan knowing the RATS (and RINOS) have the VOTES to CONFIRM her! His "NO" vote is in effect a YES vote because he WILL NOT filibuster her. I guess Nelson and the ruling class think we're too damn stupid to recognize how dishonest his "no vote" claim is.....

[RJS1950]

Bad Hair Ben is hoping that he can convince the idiot republican Nebraskans who have supported him that he’s not really an obama butt boy but it won’t work this time. When you lose make like our other former POS governor/senator and stay on the east coast.
