[AliVeritas]

FReepers be prepared for surprises today.

[Soul Seeker]

Rush is right.

[mrs9x]

When is the final vote for Owens then scheduled?

[defconw]

Santorum On C-Span!

[hispanarepublicana]

Santorum up on C-SPAN

[steveegg]

Scratch the "two more names" and I believe you got it. I count 18, and that's what C-SPAN is reporting.

[Carolinamom]

Break bookmark.........

[AliVeritas]

Yep.

81-15
Back at 2:15

Santorum up

[nina0113]

Has McCainButtBoy Graham voted yet?

Isn't he up for re-election next year? I might have to come down & help whoever his primary opponent is.

[steveegg]

They're in recess until 2:15, then there may be up to 30 hours of debate before a final vote.

[Fudd Fan]

Now we can all see just how bad McCain really is.

Then this might interest you.

[OldFriend]

McCain is going third party. He's joined up with Christie Whiman's new PAC.......

These immoral scum will do all in their power to destroy the republican party.

We must do everything in our power to destroy McCain now.

[Cboldt]

I feel no joy at a vote we should ahve been guarenteed, since we should ahve been guarenteed ALL.

We can't get to that point until the DEMs refuse to vote on a nominee. If they vote on nominees, there is no issue.

[onyx]

THAT'S the one! I think it's authentic -- free of "touch-up's."

Rick --- "extreme agenda of the ACLU."

[ShowMeMom]

Kerry - No

He misunderstood the question. He thought they said, "will you sign the 180?"

[LisaFab]

Let me repeat for the umpteenth time: Graham and Dewine (and maybe more) have said they will vote nuclear if the Dems run afoul of the MOU.

Ergo, 48+2+Cheney = Victory.

[cyncooper]

Suit yourself. I've seen you indulge in pouting, but I think you're making a mistake.

[NonValueAdded]

Cloture on Owens was a foregone conclusion once the MOU was announced. The same holds true for Brown and Prior. But that is the end of it.

[HRoarke]

Here's hoping that Cheney is dropping F-bombs in the appropriate offices.

He is a hard hard man.

[OXENinFLA]

81? really...................THAT'S A FEW MORE THAN 7.................

[Raycpa]

Having extra rats vote yes are going to make future filibusters much harder.
