Reid has basically thrown down the gauntlet over Sandra Day O'Connor's replacement. He has picked out 4 republican senators as shoe ins:
Seeking a possible consensus nominee, Reid recommended Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Mel Martinez of Florida, Mike DeWine of Ohio and Mike Crapo of Idaho.
All Fine Legislators and all with a common background. The US Senate. Seems he does not like the 55-45 split I guess. When asked about another senator, one who actually has state SC experience John Cronyn of Texas, he stated:
'I've told you (the ones) I think he should consider.'
Seems he wants only republicans in state where they have a better than a snowball's chance in hell of replacing them with a Democrat.
And it has just started! I hope the 14 stick to their agreement, but given how many "voted for the agreement before they voted against the agreement" I doubt it.
It is going to be a long hot summer!
