" Reid really looked disconsolate, "deeply saddened" yesterday afternoon, when he threw in the towel."

Makes me deeply happy.

His lips are white with anger, Howlin. At least that's what the make-up girl told him when she suggested foregoing the lip gloss.

Cause he cares for the little guy. Think of the children that could be fed... Tah ray sah could have gone alone, he had work to do here anyway... not that he's present most of the time in the senate.

Let's not get overconfident. Cloture fails when 60 Senators vote for it, not until. We need some Democrat votes to get to 60 and although some Democrats have said they oppose a filibuster, who knows what can happen over the weekend.

So if Hillary is too right-wing for the 'rat activists and Kerry keeps showing his doofus credentials then who is the current 'rat front-runner?

It's Mark Warner or Russ Feingold
