C-SPAN

[Quilla]

Let me give you a hint - he's sounding just like Joe Lieberman.

[Cordova Belle]

MANY THANKS!
I know all about the 60-votes to cloture, etc.
Have been emailing friends/family nationwide for a week now, asking them to press their Democrat senators hard.

But I guess what I'm REALLY asking is:
Will our leadership press this thing through till final voctory, or will it just "go away..." after about 3 unsuccessful cloture votes (if, God forbid, that should happen.)

My bottom line: I want them to press this thing forward until complete VICTORY or until Jesus returns, whichever comes first.

In your very respectful and educated opinion, do they have the fortitude to do that?

[RobFromGa]

It's here The Estrada Precedent

[hoosiermama]

What DASS-HOLD is saying is "If the democrats don't hold the vote He's out of a job as the minority leader"

[Republic of Texas]

Again, I hope you are correct. So far, I am not convinced.

[mr.pink]

I appreciate your calm analysis/take on this subject very much.

I'm guessing if it does get to a floor vote, most Dems with any significant hispanic voting block will vote to confirm.

[rockinonritalin]

We'll win. Voctory is ours!

[hobbes1]

Look, no one interested in winning tries to play the Scholars mate (Checkmate in 4).....you learn openings, board control strategy, piece coordination, finishing strategy....

That's how you win.

[Carolinamom]

By Jove, you've got it!

[tuckrdout]

I gotta go...I am going to pray...and I have some land to purchase..keeping that economy going! I get too riled up listening to these dems...later!

[RobFromGa]

Reid just called Estrada not a conservative, but an ideologue.

[Keith]

Tony Snow saying Dubya wants to point out that the Dums have asked ZERO questions of Estrada....gonna turn up the public light on Dashole and his mafia.

Takes one to know one!

[alnick]

Tony Snow just said that one thing that the president might say at his news conference tonight is that North Korea may be willing to submit to weapons inspections by US inspectors.

Sorry if this is old news to y'all, but I just woke up. I know that many of you are on C-Span so you might have missed this. I had to turn C-Span off because little Tommy was making my blood boil.

[NeoCaveman]

Good analogy. I like my boxing one too. This is just the third round. This is a marathon not a sprint.

[sinkspur]

Who is the female presiding over the Senate?

[PhiKapMom]

I have that same evil side -- I want the RATs to pay with cloture vote after cloture vote as Hispanics reregister as Republicans!

[RobFromGa]

While we are waiting, anyone know if President Bush asked the Networks to carry News Conference tonight???

Leahy up now. Thanks to Dem leaders for safeguarding Constitution...

[mabelkitty]

Just got word that Graham, citing "recent health problems", is abstaining (Axis of Weasel alert) from the vote today.

It's getting REALLY interesting now.

I found the link of the evilDUer site.
