I just checked out the news on Yahoo... Imagine my surprise when I read the following paragraph buried in an article on how the repubs have their 51 votes, even with 5 Republicans supposedly ready to vote against.
"Five Republicans, 23 Democrats and independent Sen. Jim Jeffords of Vermont were still publicly undecided or refused to say how they would vote on Alito's nomination. The nominee was meeting with two of the undecided Democrats, Sens. Patty Murray and Jay Rockefeller, on Wednesday in hopes of gaining their votes."
Patty Murray voted against The Iraq war... what is wrong with her?
It's bad enough that our other Senator, Maria Cantwell, is drinking the Biden/Hillary kool-aid on Iraq. Now we have Patty Murray meeting with Alito.
If anyone wants to let Patty Murray (actually her staff) know what they think, here is the contact info....

The next question is: who are the 23 Dems that won't say how they will vote?
