If Nelson (FL) is on board, that might mean 4 Dems are with us. We do not want to invoke cloture to set a precedent for judges in the future, however, if we do get 9 Dems on board with us, Daschle will probably back down, knowing we can get a cloture vote.

Durbin has the floor, Bennett is asking questions. Durbin is CHARTING it up.

We need to get his private, sort-of, well-leaning, blah blah blah into a public "YES." More calls (and the VERY LARGE Florida Hispanic population) can do it! I think we're getting to the Dem Senators!

I just called Nelson's office and a staffer told me that Senator Nelson is NOT supporting the filibuster.

He will WANT to force a cloture vote just so a precedent CAN be set. The repubs might just as well add this as Step #6 on the DEMONrats "Weapons of Mass Obstruction" plan.
