Uh, oh--
looks like the DUers are concerned because there's a rumor flying around that Robert Menendez(D - NJ), may be planning to vote FOR Judge Alito!
Sorry, that's from the DailyChaos site...
Menendez is in a tough senate race this year, and there are alot of italians in NJ. if he votes no on Alito, the italian groups are going to organize against him.
I would be very surprised if that was the case.
Doubtful he's going to vote Yes but he is up for re-election very soon.
He's losing to the republican in polls. But Schumer has to be pretty upset at that weasel millionare Corzine for forgetting who was in charge of senate races.
Now if Lautenberg would join him, that would be funny, because that would be TWO senators the democrats never got to vote for (in a primary) both going against their party.
