Also today, Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire said he will vote for President Barack Obama’s nominee, the fifth Republican to do so.
Nelson said he had heard “concerns” from people in Nebraska about Kagan.

I don't know any small l's that believe that way. Maybe they exist, but they are a small fraction of the faction, so to speak:)
Most I know, myself included, think the PRIMARY issue before us is spending and debt, followed by illegal immigration, "free trade" and the FILTH exhibited in DC by pigs from both parties feeding at the public trough.
I, and most others (no I can't speak for them, but I believe it) would like to see us focus on these issues first...THEN find common ground between ourselves and our brothers on some of the social issues.
I think that's a fair characterization of the T Party movement.
Hang together, or hang separately.
I'll be sure to keep that minor victory in mind when when she votes to take away our 2nd Amendment rights.
(I'm not being snarky toward you, BTW. I'm just in a foul mood tonight.)
Nothing is gonna save Nelson’s sorry @$$. Certainly not a meaningless crumb like voting against a certain to be approved anyway nominee.
Let him fillibuster the witch, that would be something worthwhile.
As for other rats voting no, it would make sense for Lincoln to do whatever little she could to help her doomed kiester. But it may backfire on her if she does. Liberals hate her and wanted her to lose the primary, they may just stay home.
Jim Webb I think would sooner make out with her than vote against her.
Maybe I’ve just met the wrong small-l libertarians then.
That’s quite all right, the way this Kagan nomination is going, it’s hard to be cheerful.
