I hope your prediction is correct and I totally agree with the McCain assignment of "?" for party. When he was interviewed by Colmes, McCain sounded like he just wanted to be Mr. Polite and Reasonable, even to the most liberal Demo Senators that don't give or return that politeness or respect. So McCain loses my respect with that kind of presentation. McCain cares more about his image than the results of his alliances for our nation. Too much is at stake and we need to capitalize on these SCOTUS appointments now. The gan of 14 meets today and they do want to stay in the spotlight.
"The Gang of 14 neets today and they do want to stay in the spotlight."
If Sam Alito gets confirmed without a filibuster and they play a role in it, then I say let them have their camera time.
