"Frankly, I've lost that procedural fight" and said she [Murkowski] was making a decision on confirming Barrett based on the judge's legal philosophy.

[DesertRhino]

Sounds like she was talked to.

[Not A Snowbird]

I sense a self-serving flip flop, but I’ll take it.

[conservativepoet]

She knows.

[Yossarian]

Color me surprised Murkowski has a re-election coming up and has done polling.

[Dr. Sivana]

Someone is facing a primary challenge in 2022.

[rfp1234]

Follow the $$$. The Cow’s afraid of having ANWR and other pet projects delayed, and of Sarah Palin primarying her (which may still happen).

[trublu]

I call BS. If she’s voting to confirm it’s because she caught some backlash.

Monday is a monumental day folks.

I know all the good stuff is saved for the election(s).

But I might drink some of the more expensive booze in the house Monday evening.

There’s plenty of time to replace it before election day :)

She knows Trump will win and will need his help in 2022

[joma89]

Murkowski needs to be primaried by Sarah Palin.

JoMa

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Sounds like someone told her about primaries.

[Halls]

I’ll take that reason!!!

[PerConPat]

That seems to be the most reasonable explanation; she’s climbing onto his coattails...

[Theodore R.]

So will Collins be the only GOP holdout?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You know, one of the things I like about FR is that it is full of people who are every bit as cynical about politicians as I am.

[katieanna]

Looks like Collins is hanging out on that loose branch all by herself. Not a desirable place to be. When she and Murk first voiced their opposition, I thought to myself “have these two still not yet learned not to bet against PDJT”

[HamiltonJay]

I don’t trust this woman at all.. don’t need her vote fortunately.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Her poll numbers in Alaska must be in the toilet..she knew if she voted no Sarah Palin would primary her

[Spok]

Her legal philosophy? Really? What is happening here? In whose world is that a consideration? Don’t feelings count anymore at all?! /s
