What a joke, yes he’s still getting paid as a senator and I’d be willing to bet he would have voted with the dems and didn’t want the publicity.
We know where he’s at. And this is what we’ll get if he’s President. Every democratic bill passed, great thing to look forward to.
I hope Mitt still has a chance. Oh boy, do I!!

The silver lining: at least with McCain as front-runner, he didn’t dare hand the democrats their pork sammich. If he weren’t running for president, or was too far out of it to win, do you really think that he would have abstained?

Oh, and as MM said, Harry Reid’s “nay” vote was a procedural devise to allow him to bring the issue back if he chooses to. He is not in trouble and was not voting it down.

McCaskill is supporting Obama need I say more?

This women should not have gotten close to winning her election which I might add was a narrow defeat of Jim Talent (R), her career not only in politics has been frought with scandalous behavior her term ends in 2012 and should not be elected again.

Coleman is a loser. The Brooklyn born, reincarnated as a MN-sotan, Senator. Endorsed Rudy first, then when Rudy couldn’t win a state he chooses the other liberal in the race – McCain.

Norm Coleman is the quintessential “finger in the air testing which way the wind is blowing” Politician. As evidenced by his votes on Amnesty and yesterday in favor of “Stimulus to break the bank”. If polls are to be believed he’s -unbelievably- polling behind the hate mongering Al Franken.

McCain’s non-vote yesterday was cowardly. Can someone tell him that when the going gets tough you can’t just “not show up” or “disappear”.

Oh whoops, I’m supposed to calm down.

Where Was McCain?…

Most of them, anyway. A couple of defectors, all of which are up for re-election this year (Grassley, for one). Anyway, here’s the scoop: The fate of $600-$1,200 rebate checks for more than 100 million Americans is in limbo after……

I think Mitch McConnell is doing a much better job as senate Republican leader
than Lott or Frist. Lott was a mealy mouth moderate and Frist was just plain incompetent as a senate leader. McConnell seems to be low key, but firm.

Sunshinerbay,

Supporting a demoncrat would probably give us a better justice than McCain would.

McCain is going to reach out for a “compromise” candidate. That’s code for “whatever Chuck, Ted, and Barack will support.” Republicans will be expected to back “their” president, and we end up with a judge that the communists basically chose.

If Barack is president, the republicants will find what little spine they have and oppose anything but a TRULY moderate candidate, since their base will revolt otherwise.

Do you want to be the republican running for re-election when your opposition says “I have just one word to say about my opponent: ______” and they insert the name of another Ginsberg or Souter?

No, at this point our best hope for keeping the supremes even partially conservative is to put the bad people in power – if just – but badger them mercilessly.

I’ll say this: conservatives had better gain more seats in congress this year.

How many of those 8 scumators… err… I mean “senators,” have endorsed Johnny Boy?

What a complete loser McCain is.
