Always the fear the GOP Senate will cave. A hangover from Clinton days I guess. So far they are doing OK. A couple more GOP seats in 2004 and everything will be fine.

Calling Democrats obstructionists worked last election. It should work with these nominations. Anything the GOP can do to make Congressional Democrats compromise is good. It alienates the Democrat base. Be nice if the Green party got 6% of the vote in 2004. That way Greens would be a thorn in the side of Democrats forever.
