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....

Here's my reason for my prediction of 78 yeas on Owen:

You figure in the 13 who voted against cloture yesterday, add a few more moonbats and season with a few blue-state RINOs and you get 22 against.

Right now I am continuing to "trust and verify" what Graham has been saying. He believes that of the 8, seven will be confirmed. He's been in on the talks. Right now, he has not lost me completely (the same is not true of McCain) --- If he turns out to have been blowing smoke on this, it won't be the DUers who did the suicide thing - AFPhys may slink away for months and change screen name to AFPsycho...

Schumer is an idiot if he thinks the president is going to bind himself to any agreement that any sneators come up with.

What a moron.

Was he referring to Zeus the Roman god or Zeus the Ape anthropologist?

I believe Graham believes. I just am wary if Graham doesn't have enough street smarts to know when he is being rolled.

"And who is Durkin?

"A Dick (Durbin, that is -- JohnRob needs to fix the spell-check; we both got it wrong)

There is a Durkin!! Durbin's Republican opponent last time was a downstate Congressman named John Durkin, a solid conservative who got NO HELP from the NRC because they believed Durbin, despite his abortion extremist views (enthusiastic advocate of partial-birth abortion) to be unbeatble. Durkin ran so few commercials on TV, I never saw one.

It appeared that Cheney has inserted the nuclear suppository in McAinal, and it was working very fast.

Is it just me or is the pace of the Senate "Extraordinarily" slow? I know that is the way the Senate was originally setup but give me a break! Now, the vote for Owen is scheduled at 12:00PM Eastern.

"That's Va.'s own John Warner. Some people say he's alive. I have my doubts."

He reminds us of the old California Senator who looked like he was more dead than alive everyday.
