Yeah...but nobody is casting any ballots yet either. We need for this obstructionistic attitudes to continue right up until the election. If they strategize that it might be worth it to let one of the nominations sail into office, they will have effectively stolen the thunder of the 'pubbies. "What do you mean: OBSTRUCTIONIST? We do things on a case by case basis...see? We let this one or that one go!"
What the Republicans need to do, however, is repeat the obstructionist line as often as possible. They aren't doing this, and it's a political mistake on their part.
