Good morning all. Senate convenes at 9:30 am this morning, to vote on the nomination of Priscilla Owen. I've started the thread early, as I have to leave for a few hours, but also to give us a place to start commenting early on the events of yesterday....

I made it on Rush's show today before the 130 break and told him why I think he is wrong on this issue. He still thinks that we had the votes to nuke now, I think the squishy middle guys wanted to give the moderate Dems one more chance to stop obstructionism.

We'll see,

No one is like Lautenberg, who sleeps in a coffin! I wish Sourbrains good health but I suspect he's in the Lousen-berg category, yes.

I got home at 2:00 PM EST and Biden was already yapping. How much time do they have?

Who is the clown on Rush now...asking about the runaway bride, for the love of all that's fattening.

Geez. English Accent (Kerry or McCain, getting the focus off the courts)

I couldn't understand why Rush was so against what you were saying.

I called and I was on the air in less than five minutes. That's the third time on Rush and the previous two times I had to hold for a hour and a half...

You did well and I sense Rush is reassessing his posistion.

I heard you Rob. You put up some thoughtful insight to this issue. I think Rush has been a bit over the top on this and refuses to look at it any other way than his way.

This could hurt the majority of 55-45 we now enjoy come 2006. Hope not but we need to see how this plays out before sounding like DU.
