She appeared to decline support for a filibuster, at that time, no doubt about it. We have direct quotes from her that sound firmly for an up or down vote. Someone got to her. She can always claim the "people" demanded it. HaHaHa!

"Kerry further sinks his political career. did you know he served in Viet Nam?"

Boston radio show host and newspaper columnist Howie Carr has, as they say, a visceral dislike for Sen. Kerry, who he often refers to as "live shot" for his desire to be caught by the TV camera. Carr has any number of tales of Kerry breaking in line somewhere & saying "do you know who I am?"

This is the most worthy thing I've seen today.....

Democrats and Republicans alike said the 55-year-old conservative jurist will get more than the 60 votes need to cut off debate on the Senate floor Monday.

"Everyone knows there are not enough votes to support a filibuster," Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada said Friday. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said the same thing on Thursday. "A bipartisan majority will vote to confirm Judge Alito as Justice Alito," Frist said.

Didn't he do that at Wendy's after the Democratic Convention? (when they were starting their bus tour and stopped in for the phony anniversary lunch for the Edwards (while they had Ben Aflick and a catered lunch waiting on the bus -- and Kerry went up to the soldier eating in peace to ask if they knew who he was)...

We have Bill Nelson, who is voting NO on Alito. Not that he cares, but I am calling to complain, just for the heck of it.

Martinez is voting YES.

Not much ... but Kerry flew back after spending just one day in Switzerland to lecture us on the environment and how corrupt Bush is

Though I am surprised that Bag Lady Boxer hasn't shown her face yet
