   Beautiful Briefer suggestion.

   Super Kav surprised the $hit out of me today.  I was unaware that he had it in him and 20 years of GOP history has told us where those nutless wonders reside.

Interesting: A source close to Senator Manchin tells me now, "Short of claims that definitively prove Dr. Ford's allegations or a realization that Kavanaugh will gut the healthcare law, Manchin will side with the overwhelming number of people in WV who want Kavanaugh confirmed."

He will get 53 - 54 votes on the floor.

That would be wonderful.  And part of the thanks could be given to Lindsey Graham, I think.

This entire democrat effort was directed at putting this vote off unti after the midterms. Their failure to do that will have large repercussions.

I just want it over as I am sure Kav and his family do...Ashley was on the verge of tears all day and I understand his Mother sat there and wept...which I understand.

   I've been admonished before for using particular Briefers in my polls, so I ask "Can't anybody here play this game?"

   Corrected spelling in poll @Fishrrman out of deep respect for my fellow Briefer.

I agree.   Graham's speech revealed the full measure of the man, and was his finest hour.

Nope. Flake has a bone to pick.
I think it's his last act of defiance.

That speech was so powerful, it will reverberate well past next Tuesday.

There are going to be a lot of Democrats who don't want to get hit with DiFi's crap which just hit the fan.

Flake: "I will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh."

He's already picked it.  He'll vote for Kav both times.

Probable, the Rinos are still backing Kavanaugh, if you don't impress them, they will make it their business to destroy you. So I say he will squeak by.

Anyone want to change their vote after Flake's betrayal?   :thud:

No, I picked the: "Yes though the full Senate Vote still dicey."

I picked "Yes and the full Senate votes to confirm next week", but I'm feeling a lot less certain of that now.

   When I set up the poll I always allow Briefers/Guest alike to change their votes and since I always put in a moore stupid option I give all of yall at least 2 VOTES.

    Might be time for a new poll anyway since this one is already outdated at 24 hours.
