I'm back....what's going on?

Sounds like the R's found a way out so thy can avoid a filibuster and save face by claiming they will keep bringing this back until Rats go along or we forget. Whichever comes first.

Rush sounds really lame on Estrada. He is "Rushy come lately" to the politics of the Estrada nomination.

It occurred to me this morning, that maybe we are fighting this "war" in the Senate the same way we are fighting the war on terrorism.

No direct attacks, YET. Just a few well placed, well trained individuals behind the lines taking them down one at a time. IN the senate one Senator at a time. In the war of terrorism, one leader at a time. Now THAT takes nerve and some good planning.

If the end is the same, I'm for it. Save the 24-7 for the last. In the mean time, spread the news, hurt the Rats as much as possible, toy with them a bit. Then go in for the final strike when they've been weakened.

Rush understands the Republican "strategery" now. Says the dems are in a lose-lose situation.

He said again the Fox story was not accurate, and he was under a mis-impression about how the voting works. Sees that Republicans are forcing the dems to go on record again and again and again as voting against, or refusing to let the vote be held, a well-qualified nominee.

Says dems will lose.

When I heard Rush was going to address this I muted (mercifully, really) the Senate.

Spanish caller (self-identified "Spanish") on now and is encouraging other hispanics to mobilize and contact their Senators.
