Would Estrada win a straight 'up/down' vote?

Estrada would be confirmed; as I understood it, the GOP majority seems very firm in their support.

He'd win. I'd wager at about 75-80 yes votes, maybe higher.
The Dems know that if it gets to the floor, he's in....so IMHO, any Dem with a Hispanic constituency would fall into line and vote yes.

Yes Cricket....Estrada is a lock to get selected by straight up-and-down vote. This is why the Dems are filibustering (or planning to)

Estrada would EASILY win an up/down vote. All 51 Repubs support him. 3 Dems do (Nelson NE, Breaux LA, Miller GA). I bet a good bit more will support Estrada simply out of fear of the Hispanic vote. I think our goal should be to at LEAST get 60 votes for Estrada. After this much effort, if they get less than 40 votes, they might not have as much energy for the next big fight!

It only takes 51 votes....
We have 51 Pubbies and if a vote is taken,
several RATS will also jump back on the ship....
