to be honest, democrats will use the nuclear option, they’re goign to screw the 60 min requirement

It will be awesome to watch the Democrats do that, to see McCain try to reform the Gang of 14 to compromise, and to see McCain get his butt kicked by his former "friends" over it.

Maybe he'll finally realized how used he was by his friends.

Since they’re RINOs, and seldom vote with their own party, I’m not sure losing them to the Sublime Porte would be a loss.

How abut Nelson (NE) for the position he covets: Dept of Agriculture?

Nebraska has a Republican governor. He needs a state with one or two Republican Senators, and a 'Rat governor to appoint the replacement. Furthermore the Republican Senator must be a RINO. Not that those are hard to find in the Senate, but if the two from Maine won't bite, it's unlikely others would either.

Stopping the filibuster threat only requires a Senate rule change. If they can’t get enough for a filibuster proof Senate from the election they will simply change the rule. Snowe and Collins will probably vote with them anyway.

Obviously Maine has a DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR that would rplace Susan Collins with a DEMOCRAT SENATOR in order to get to 60!

If somehow Bill Nelson was appointed somewhere it would leave an open seat ......... I am not holding my breath.

If either Snowe or Collins took a cabinet position, it would be only a matter of months before some drummed up reason would be created to force them to resign and they would be replaced with some leftist.

O must believe Republicans are fools and he has good reason to think that.
