THey [the dems] needed this smoke and mirors to distract from the fact that they caved.

That's exactly right. Reid saw he was going to lose the nuke vote. He knew no amount of media bias would save them once the American people saw the senate taking votes on the nominees. When it became clear Frist was going to call the vote, Reid blinked.

I do nt know how you can say thta because nothing could be more obvious that he did not have the votes to end it. He had seven votes split from the party line. It is absurd to think that he had the votes.

If this is a face saving facade for anyone, it is for Frist.
