Actually, most filibusters in the US Senate succeed. Getting a cloture vote happens more frequently than it did in the 1917-1962 period when cloture votes were attempted 23 times and were successful only 5 times. Today cloture attempts are filed and made much more frequently, but the success rate is only around 22%...

Since he's so deeply saddened and channeling dead Senators, maybe he should channel Tom Daschle.

I don't understand what your problem is with all of this.... By hesitating and showing indecision the republicans are wasting time. Get to the vote, put the dems in their place (the minority) and let's get on with solving the many issues facing the country.
By prolonging the drama we are not using the precious first year after the election wisely. In another six months people will start positioning themselves for 2006 and by 2006 Bush will be considered a lame duck, and the moment will be lost.

He is actually seeing dead people nowHas he seen his old dog Billy yet?

Here is the third call for a delay in the decision. The latest strategy. Who made political discourse so unpleasant, Senator Byrd. Not the Republicans, who we are yelling at all the time because they don't fight back hard enough (but I am quite proud of them).
