5. It just means we have to push them harder.
Keep it up people!! We got Biden to tentitively get off the fence and momentarily stand... we got Feinstein to sign on... we can change more minds.

10. So
We need to convince Lieberman, Snowe and one other person to just not vote. Totally doable. Enough of these negative threads.

11. I am still wondering if Byrd would vote against cloture on principle -
on Constitutional principle - even though he intends to vote yea on the Alito nomination.

12. I was just thinking the same thing:
It is just not right as a matter of principle to block other senators in your party from excercising their right to an extended debate, irrespective of how you feel about the eventual vote. Same for Obama.

15. Byrd's staffer
in DC who took my call was snippy with me, and I've seen another poster state the same in a different thread. If you get her tomorrow, try and remember the honey-vs,-vinegar rule.
