1. I am wondering if they have a "smoking gun" and
need more time.

Just a thought.

2. I knew this was coming. Leahy hinted at it on Friday.
I'm hoping they have something on this guy and need time to develop a strategy. Maybe Gore's speech gave them the kick in the ass THEY NEEDED? Maybe they're rallying the votes for a filibuster? Man, I hope so.

3. What the Hell is the point? If they're NOT oing to filibuster
Mr. Taliban then WHAT is the point of delaying the vote?

5. It would be sweet if they have something big

Drop the bomb !

After Scallito dodged his way through
with all sorts of repuke grandstanding...
what better surprise (and disgrace)
would there be than to unleash all the
damning evidence now at this point...
the impact would be tremendous !

Here's to hoping the Dems have a good plan !

6. We should start pressing the point
If the Repukes are so upset about how Mrs. Scalito couldn't handle the heat, maybe Scalito should step down from the nomination and tend to his family . . .
