1. Can we get a quick link or group mail to the supporters to let

them know that they are wrong?

[LisaM]

2. Mary Landrieu?

You have GOT to be kidding me.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

3. contact rockefeller of wv

he's open-minded and worth a shot

[ThomWV]

4. I Wonder What Got Into Byrd's Nest?

He must have traded this vote for something .... I wonder what?

[longship]

6. It's called re-election.

He's running and he has opposition in a fairly conservative state.

[David Dunham]

7. He wants to be reelected and needs to appear more moderate

West Virginia is an increasingly conservative state.

[serryjw]

8. I have said this before

That everyone is more worried about O'Connors replacement. We are replacing one neocon with a conservative. I would love all the dems to vote against him but I am reserving my judgement for the NEXT nominee.

[longship]

5. Should be's

My predictions: unannounced who should vote against:

Akaka, Dorgan, Harkin, Levin, and Murray.

The rest will vote for confirmation.

[LiberalArkie]

9. Conservatives

Landrieu and Pryor are just trying to prove they are good Democrats just like George Wallace, Orval Faubus, Ross Barnett and Lester Mattocks.

10. Everyone That Votes Yea

should get the boot in my own opinion. This politicking looks worse than standing on principle.

[LittleClarkie]

11. That is one weird list of nay votes. So many conservative Dems
