Why the assumption that JRB would lose in the Senate? Yeah, it would be bloody, but is this something not worth fighting for in the GOP?

Which GOP Senators would do the fighting?

Who wouldn't support her in the GOP? She'd be the first black woman on the Supreme Court. Do you recall the spike in the black vote in the 2004 election? More than enough incentive to build on that with a JRB appointment.

Off the top of my head, Santorum for starters (mea culpa for supporting Specter) is in a particularly bad place with conservatives and needs to regain some traction going into 2006.

Those who don't should be exposed for the useless seat-fillers they are. They would be defeated in short order in the next election. An enemy you know in the seat is preferable to a 'friend' that abandons you when his vote is most needed.
