I cannot believe that the announcement is going to be in 4 hours and they are just telling people they are not it.

If I were to guess.... I'd guess Clement was a trial balloon this morning. Someone told Susan E and got her talking about it. It comes on FR and half of the conservatives in the blogosphere were ready to sue to get their contributions to the RNC. Scratch Clement.... let's move a little further right. Move the 1:15 ET announcement time until later this evening. Put plan B in place.

The Senate dims who this morning were going to be fine with the nomination by this afternoon are not fine with it.... because they heard through the grapevine that the repub base shot it down.

I'm not sure the White House has it's mind made up yet.

Well, waiting until nightfall to name the nominee while letting rumors swirl could be a good way to waste a few of Soros' dollars:

TOPEVERYBODY.COM [Byron York]
There has been a brisk traffic today in buying web addresses that could be used to oppose Edith Brown Clement, were she to become the new Supreme Court nominee. The addresses opposeclement.org and supportclement.org were both purchased by the anti-Bush Leadership Conference on Civil Rights today -- allowing the group to simultaneously oppose Clement and stop her supporters from using the pro-Clement address. Another address, stopclement.org, was purchased by the the group People for the American Way on July 8, two days after NRO published an article, "The Coming Web Attack on the Court Nominee," which outlined how not only People for the American Way, but NARAL Pro-Choice America, the Leadership Conference, and others had purchased addresses like stopgonzales.com, stopwilkinson.com, stopluttig.com, and many others.

When there is bad news at DU they take the board down....they do it all the time.

Remember when we smoked their a$$e$ in 2002....they crawled up in a fetal position for a week.

You know, I'm just laughing at this point.

Bush has the entire press corp, politicos in D.C, and activists jumping through hoops. LOL No wonder he's grinning so broadly. I would enjoy the the ability to twist everyine in knots too.

In the Midwest or at least my part of it, it's a thing to say that someone is good people, it's understood to mean that he or she is one of us, that they are on our side.

I personally haven't been this thrilled in a long time!

I have butterflies like before a big game when I was younger.

If Clement is really out ...

I'm reverting from slightly-depressed-but-trying-to-be-optimistic to full blown kid-in-a-candy-shop mode again!

Just please, no one start any Gonzales rumors .... my poor heart couldn't take it.
