Naturally. After the Dems get the requisite number of idiot Republicans to defect, they release Nelson who then goes on to author his first 2012 reelection commercial.

The morons in Nebraska will buy it hook, line and sinker.

The morons in Nebraska may well buy it hook, line, and sinker. But they’re mostly in Omaha, and the rest of the state can(hopefully) out-vote them.

Still stinging from the beating he got over the Cornhusker Kickback. Whassamatta, Ben,...facing an uphill battle in the polls? She’ll be confirmed, and you get cover from the voters. Punk.

Paired votes
Nelson gets reelected and Gregg gets something better than Secretary of Commerce.
It’s a win-win!

Nelson becomes first Democrat to oppose Kagan for Supreme Court

Until the last (crucial) minute. He is as Democrat and will ultimately vote the party line.

Yeppers, Hit another nail directly on the head!

It's a carefully choreographed passion play designed to dupe the sucker taxpayers and citizen masses!

[Enterprise]

This is so disgusting. What appears to be happening is that various Senators are “trading votes” depending on who is in a safe district. BASTARDS!

[Left2Right]

It is absolutely sickening that ANY republican would vote to confirm this ignorant witch. True conservatives need to leave the republitraitor party.

[Snickering Hound]

He’s up for re-election in 2012 with Obama and wants as much separation as he can possibly get.

[TigersEye]

Dangerous pick for SCOTUS.

Complaint Filed Against Kagan at Supreme Court

Whoa there sport.....Benny screwed the pooch on health care this is being seen for what it is PANDERING and it won’t work..he’s toast...when was the last time your senator was booed out of a pizza joint like benny was?

[Mariner]

"Democratic Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska said he will vote against confirming Elena Kagan "

The RINOs went out on a limb and Nelson just cut it off.

[Clintonfatigued]

I think that Nelson planned to oppose Kagan all along because of his falling approval ratings back home, but that Harry Reid told him to wait until enough RINO’s had defected so that it would make no difference.

In spite of that, this is a postive development. Maybe a few more DemocRATS, like Blanche Lincoln, Mark Begich, and Jim Webb, will vote against her. If we could hold her below 60 votes, it would be a minor victory.
