I just saw that on Hanity,
Sen Nelson ADMITTED THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS ARE HIDING THEIR NAMES!!!!!!!!!!
The democrats are trying to give cover to the cowards!!!
I bet Olympia Snow is part of the cabal of country club cowards.
i like that:
Cabal of Country Club Cowards. (needs a photosop image)
All their names WILL be known and they WILL be punished if they betray us on this issue. Hiding behind the skirts of the Dems and MSM will not save them.
Are you saying that the C.C.C.C. is the group that would vote against the Byrd Option, or are the group of 6 that is meeting to find a compromise?
Are they really? Hiding?
Master of the obvious. ;-) McCain, Chaffee and Snowe are pretty much givens. Collins is a 60-40 bet (more likely to side with DEM than GOP on this).
In the end, I think all this side deal is a way for many Senators to spend time, vent frustration, comiserate, plot, socialize, "be collegial," keep the fences in good mend, and otherwise be unproductive. Frist will make them an offer that they will find quite agreeable, and they will vote on the nominee. I don't know why, but I think this nomination is going to work out just fine. Rumors of side deals will feed the media, but won't amount to a hill of beans.
