Barack Obama said today

“It’s really a question whether I vote against Judge Alito once or twice,” he said. Obama conceded that there is some doubt precisely how many Democrats might oppose a filibuster, describing the situation as “in flux.”
“There’s some dispute with respect to those numbers. We’re trying to check that out right now,” he said.
In Flux = We are having an impact and the numbers are changing.
Then
Senator Kennedy gave us his list of where we need to put our efforts.
While he did not single out the two Senators from New Jersey they were certainly in a very small group of targets.
He is telling us these are the key votes, as they move others will move.
They, in a political, sense are vital to our efforts. We must get them to committ as soon as possible.It becomes much easier for other Senators to come out in opposition if the two Senators from the nominee's home state have come out in opposition. It is very difficult for them to do this because he is a hometown boy. Alito has a lot of powerful connections here. We have to prove there is a groundswell of opposition.
Alito comes from Menendez's former Congressional district. They have to know that we are behind them. Menendez also needs to know that he will need us in the fall and he has to give us reason to work for him.
There is some confussion as to where Menendez stands at this point and we can't take a chance until he makes a public statement.

Ask if he is supporting. If not why not? Tell him why it is important to you as a constituent and that he needs your support come Nov. If I can count on him, he can count on me.

Corzine just appointed Menendez so we should ask for his help in convincing the new Senator to do the right thing. Corzine also wants to run for President some day so everyone's opinion matters.
