#1 Even the NY Times had an editorial against naming Hastings.

We'll see.

#2 I doubt there was any sign of intelligence in Mouther Pelosi in the first place, so impending failure is out of question. ;-)

#3 "Pelosi" and "intelligence" in the same sentence?

#4 lol, Barb. My thought exactly.

I keep stating that it should be interesting to watch Lieberman in all of this. He was pretty steamed yesterday on Hannity's radio. Mentioned that several of his Donk friends have "completely change their relationship" (specifically mentioned Hillary and Schumer), and then literally said "Watch me, I'm going to caucus with the Democrats, but will WORK HARD to be independent." God, I hope he means it.

I know he won't change to a social (or even fiscal) conservative. But, I'd like to see him (in his calm, boring demeanor) absolutely b!tch slap Schumer, Clinton or Pelosi over Iraq.

#5 Funny thing is he is the most free man inthe Senate.

He owes his presence there to no party, only his sensible views and how they mesh with those of his voters.

And even better, if votes fall on party lines, that leaves it 49-49, Sociast going Dem 50-59. Meaning Joe gets to make it 51 for the Dems and ask his price, or 50-50 and VP Cheney breaks the tie - and Joe gets the Repubs to pay his price.

Joe Lieberman, the biggest winner of the 2006 election.

#6 Oh, I hope she appointes Hastings.

He will be a great boatanchor to hang on the local Dem who just won what is normally a fairly conservative/moderate CD. Him on one side and Kerry on the other.

Wahoo! If the Dems continue to do payback instead of governing from the middle that they ran to, 2008 is going to be a ball!

#7 It'll be easier for the troops in the field, I think, if the Dems have a sudden attack of sanity and don't appoint Hastings. IMHO.

Harman wrote the national security part of the caucuses' platform, right?

#8 Is it time for conservative activists to come forward, and save the democratic party from itself?

#9 the two are mutually exclusive - watch how they treat their blue-dog democrats internally : "thanks now go away"

#10 But we can explain to them that by doing the responsible thing, they'll be screwing over the GOP for 2008!

And don't they want to screw over the GOP? Get Madame President Hildebeest?

"All this and more might be yours if you don't screw over Harman..."

The sales pitch writes itself!
