Are Democrats planning to say anything on the floor today?
It's been rethugs since 10:30. I'm only holding off going to starbucks because I am waiting for the minority to speak up.

(And god help me, the rethugs are getting convincing...)

1. Leadership reunion with Dean,n I think.
But it is true that, listening to the Republicans, they make a convincing case for Pryor. It would be good if somebody came and tell us why all these qualities are not real.

3. Perhaps it's a flaw of the Democratic Party
that we spend too much time on rhetoric, be it Dean's rhetoric or Brown's rhetoric. We used to be very insistent on the "substance" of things, but now we're doing a lot of talking about principle and not so much about what people have done and can do.

In other news, I am so sick of Sessions's voice!!! :argh:

10. Durbin speaking now
He is doing a good job at explaining why he opposes Pryor.

2. Not sure, but
just remember, 90% of the time, the rethugs are twisting facts to reflect what they want you to think, they are omitting key facts, or they are outright lying to you. Every time, without fail, that I begin to feel like they are making some good, convincing arguments, I find out some key pieces of information are conveniently being left out. Keep your guard up and research!!!
