Good. Re-read the story. Then be of good cheer.

I called and talked to someone at Orrin Hatch's office today. They are very emphatic that the nomination is going to stand, they're not giving up. Plus, I understand Rush was saying the same thing on his show, that the Republicans were backing away from Estrada. Both Frist and Hatch called up to say that Rush was wrong.

You mean the article that said this:

"But Frist emphasized that a vote to break the filibuster would not mark the end of the Estrada struggle. "'I would think the battle is just beginning. At that juncture, we would know who we need to talk to. I've got a feeling, I've got a sense that Democrats are entrenched, and our goal is to pull them out of those trenches. It may take a few days. It may take a few weeks — it may take months — but it's my goal to pull them out of those trenches,' Frist said."

I am sure somewhere down the thread someone has pointed out that Senator Hatch called Rush and assured him the story is NOT true. But just in case.
