Who would da thunk Hillary Rodham Clinton against Roberts... The left fringe pressure must be too much to bear even for her hindness!!!
Why is so much ink, so many electrons, and so much time wasted in pointing out that Jumpin' Jim Jeffords is an "Independent"?
I predict the rat Jeffords will vote no.
Just when I think I've got Carl Levin (D, Michigan) figured out, he comes to his senses and votes the right way.
Stabenow (D, Michigan) is just stuck in her '70's feminist mode.
So there are 19 democrats who won't vote for a Bush SCOTUS nomination - no matter who it is.
Ann Coulter is even saying she is now in support of Roberts. Shows a conservative's mind can be changed and is not stuck in one gear like liberals think they are. Liberals are the ones with one track minds. "It's Bushes Fault". Only need one track for that song.
Lets see we have:
1. Max Baucus of Montana, Red state Dim.
2. Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico, semi red state Dim.
3. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, red state dim up for reelection and member of the gang of 14.
4. Kent Conrad of North Dakota, red state Dim.
5. Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, a real surprise to me.
6. Byron Dorgan of North Dakota, red state Dim.
7. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, red state Dim, yeah I know I know they have stolen it two elections in a row with no IDs and on the spot registration, but clearly the two Senators know it is a red state.
8. Tim Johnson of South Dakota, red state Dim.
9. Herb Kohl of Wisconsin, see Feingold.
10. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, red state Dim in state that is a lot redder today. I wonder if she will switch parties? Gang of 14 member.
11. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, along with Dod the big suprise to me.
12. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, not as much a surprise as Dodd or Leahy since he is a sensible Dim gang of 14 member.
13. Carl Levin of Michigan, another blue state Dim but a very close state.
14. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, red state Dim gang of 14 member.
15. Bill Nelson of Florida, red state Dim.
16. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, red state Dim.
17. Ken Salazar of Colorado, red state Dim gang of 14 member.
Why are there so many red state Dims and are we going to make more progress in getting rid of them in 2006?
