The Democrats never had a realistic shot at stopping Alito so this tactic is nothing more than a failed theatrical gesture. One last stand from a Senator who couldn't wait 24 hours to concede Ohio to Bush only hours after his blue collar worker stood hours in the rain to vote for him. It accomplishes nothing. Its also stupid politics, as it gives a needed hard fought win to a administration that is imploding before our very eyes. One of the things the Democrats have got to learn is they should stop pretending to have more strength then they really have. As the GOP is in control of everything let them bear the responsibility for everything. The sheer number of Republican Senators in the Senate made Alito's nomination a certainty. Now we will have to hear days of stories about the incompetent, disorganized Democrats insted of the incompetent, disorganized President. Thanks John Kerry. We really needed that.
