"Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist on Thursday urged Democrats ..." Ball-less Frist asks pretty please ...
Why do you quote AP's balless use of the word "urge" and blame it on Frist?
This is what Frist said. Did you miss it?
Frist explained the situation at the end of last summer but no one was paying attention.
He polled the republicans about going nuclear. Up to 5 RINOs responded that they would not support.
My guess on the names of the 5: Chaffee, Snowe, Specter, McCain....???
If it is the same 5 and there are no new defections, then the rules changes would win a 50-50 tie with VP Cheney breaking the tie.
