You are right! We have the votes to confirm -- what we need now are votes to invoke cloture! Nelson and Graham I believe can be counted on to allow a vote even when they vote against him.

Bill Nelson's office is assuring that Sen. Nelson WILL vote to allow the vote, but may not vote to confirm.

Sen. Graham's office all but confirmed my suspicion that Graham is going to be conveniently unavailable for any vote or comment until this particular hot potato for a Sen. from Florida w/ Presidential aspirations is settled.

I informed his office that the good Senator had clout and could certainly release a statement re. Miguel from his hospital bed. (^:
