WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen.

Those who claim the hard left doesn't control the Democrats owe us all an apology. They were the ones srcreaming for a filibuster. Not even the hardcore Dem Senators wanted one.

filibuster or no, this puts Kerry in the race for those moveon dollars that Gore seemed to have corraled the other day with his most recent ranting.

Can you imagine a gore/kerry ticket? Could there possibly be a worse nightmare scenario than that?

Let's do Kerry MATH.

55 GOP Senators. All will vote for Cloture. Not all may vote for Alito.

3 Dems will vote for Alito. Johnson, Byrd and Nelson.

2 Dems say they will vote NO on a Confirmation, YES on Cloture. Landreiu and Slazar.

THAT'S 60 VOTES.

NEXT!!!

Major overreach by Kerry here...I think he's a bit too full of himself and his hope for 08 candidacy. Talk about a nice little addition for the SotU.
