Owen comes up first,and the Dems cave, they don't object, they ask for 100 hours of debate, and then vote...IOW words..no filabuster..how many AYE votes do you think she gets?.

Less than 60. Interesting that 5 DEMs tended to vote for cloture in the previous Congress.

And that may be why she's coming up first..because it will be hard later on for the red-state Dems to vote NO on all of Bush's nominees..I just caught some of the replay of the Dem presser from this morning..Tim Johnson doesn't look happy..
