WHITE HOUSE PREPARING FOR POSSIBLE SUPREME COURT RESIGNATION
Keyes.
Make no mistake about it: the fate of the Constitution, and the nation, rests on the judiciary; the fate of the judiciary rests on the Senate Judiciary Committee; the fate of the Senate Judiciary Committee rests on the fate of Tom Daschle as Majority Leader; and the fate of Tom Daschle as Majority Leader rests on the coming Senatorial election.
An excellent summary of why to vote Republican in November!
Don't be fooled by conservative DemocRATS! When the chips are down in the Senate, the DemocRATS will vote with Daschle. You can take that to the bank! In the House, there are four DemocRATS that almost always vote with Republicans but they don't vote on judicial nominations.
For the sake of Chairmanships and judicial nominations, hold your nose and vote for Alexander. I held my nose in 1996 and voted for Dole! And I was not happy!
Presidents can also make recess appointments.
Therefore, the scenario I used would be the best. We KNOW that Leahy and Kennedy feel secure in their positions as senators. However, should they hold up a Hispanic Supreme Court nominee, Rat senator candidates in some races mught go down to defeat, placing them in the minority again.
Therefore, the capital should be spent in making sure Hispanics and everyone else understand that a vote for whatever dem senatorial candidate is running is a vote for Leahy and Daschle.

This is going to be a battle royale! For the dims, the Supremes are the Holy Grail of politics. They will fight to the last breath.
At the doubloon nailed to the mast: "'Men, this gold is mine, but I shall let it abide here until the White Whale is dead. And then, whosoever of ye first raises him upon the day he shall be killed, this gold is that man's. And if on that day I shall again raise him, then ten times its sum shall be divided among all of ye! Away now!"

O'Conner and/or Rehnquist (if either) will depart - no dims will retire. Thomas/Scalia will be picked for Chief. Then in a surprise move, W picks N. Sanders Sauls for associate.
Sauls might be my second choice {grin}.
No, it's not mutually exclusive. But it's about as helpful in actually causing us to recapture the Senate in November as putting a giant "Vote DEMOCRAT" sign on your front lawn.
Like it or not, during campaign season we have to put our policy differences aside and stand as one against the Democrats. We can start arguing amongst ourselves again on November 6th.
The only way to avoid this trap is to nominate liberals or minorities. Liberal lies notwithstanding, there are plenty of qualified, conservative minorities to choose from.
