1. How many (of the 14) are needed for a fillibuster? n/t

[Tesla]

2. Duh, why didn't I see this before, now I know why Katrina went so bad.

Mary Landrieu, Louisiana


Wonder if Jeb pissed him off lately?

[MaineDem]

3. Snowe and Collins have stated the nominee should be a woman

Now we'll see if they back down on that.

I don't ever expect Susie Collins to vote angainst a presidential nominee regardless of what she says beforehand. She is on the record during her campaign for saying hse will always support the President's choices. But she's also said she'll only serve two terms so we'll see how that turns out.
