(I like McCain, but sometimes he makes me wonder who's side he's on.)

Sometimes? The man is the biggest RINO on the savanna! There is no position the Dems take that he will not take up a position further left on, just to get the media adoration and face-time he craves. Additionally, I believe he hates the President after having been beaten by him in 2000.

Senator Grassley had a town hall meeting yesterday and I posed the question to him about the 'deal' and what would happen to the rest of the nominees!! That fired him up!! He proceeded to rail about the fact that those 7 could thwart the will of the majority in the senate and that the filibuster was to be used in legislation to eventually come to a compromise, but you CAN'T COMPROMISE A PERSON!! Wow, he got on a roll!! Someone from the back asked if he would say that on the Senate floor and he shot back, "Do you want me to?" And we all said, YES!! His time to speak on the floor got preempted by the deal though, as he was supposed to speak later that evening! He still says Frist has the option open to him of bringing up the rest of the nominees anyway. I think he wants him to!!
