ALERT: Senate Session in Progress - NOW
Senate Session

Sen. Kent Conrad was speaking. Charts and all - against Gonzales remaining in office.

In case anyone was interested.

Sen. Kit Bond speaking on Iraq now and how the surge is working and all the progress being made and how that progress is being ignored by the media.

10. The Democrats really need to "win" this one....
To loose it would really place the Majority in a "No Confidence" stance.

8. Kit Bond says the surge is working, media not reporting. What a shame mr. bond.
it's ALL the media's fault that Iraq's great successes are not being reported.

but he won't interfere with junior bu$h*s decision.

He thinks it's politically motivated.

74. Reid up now...he hasn't heard the debate....but he's coughing up some anger
after calling him the jr. Senator....blither blither.... (Sorry...Reid always sticks his foot in his mouth). Why does he have to say he doesn't know what the discussion was.. Why does he always sound like he's apologizing. Where is this going...? Has Reid shut down more investigations AFTER the vote GOES DOWN?

Leahy talks about Subpoena's but none of the Subpoena's have been answered that I know of? Don't they keep waiting for replies to subpoenas. Are we going down with this vote?

OyVey...
