re: #413 The Shadow Do

I don’t disagree with you at this point - and think that it will be 68-32 or 70-30 when it goes to the floor. I have concerns over her positions and nomination - but Obama won the Presidency. It would be hypocritical of us to complain about Bork / Thomas and others and then use those same tactics.

But -

Nothing to win and lots to lose in this fight, including the Hispanic vote for next 100 years.

The GOP didn’t get the Hispanic vote even though McCain was the one of the leaders for amnesty…..nor did they get the Hispanic vote as the Dems fillibustered / killed Estrada’s nomination. Rather than worry about this special interest group or that (other than tossing the fringe elements from the party) - it would be a whole lot better if the GOP focused on doing the right thing and articulating to the people why its the right thing.
