Laz, you're simply wrong on this one. I understand your emotions. I feel them too, but we'll actually get ALL our judges, with the possible exception of Saad. I happen to think that Saad will also get his vote, but won't be confirmed by the full Senate.
If this is true, there is a small chance of getting back a few of us who have bolted the party.
However, be aware: There are many Republicans who don't follow it as closely as us. They will have seen this travesty last night, and decided to drop out and tune out of the party.
They won't be coming back.
This is a true turning point. Expect Democrat wins in 2006 and 2008, and probably for a long time after that.
