That is pretty much B.S. I am sure he will wait until after the funeral... maybe til the end of next week since Congress will be on vacation...
but there is no doubt that he allready knows his pick! And most likely knew since when Sen. Byrd first took a turn for the worst!
These things are always thought out ahead of time, but out of respect for the Byrd family, he wants the focuse in WV to be on Byrd--- NOT the replacement.
My only concern about a 2 month extension is that 2months down the road when the economy is STILL in the crapper, we will be going through this again just like we went through this the last few extensions. I honestly don't understand the 1-2 months extension scraps that they're feeding us knowing full damn well the economy won't make a turn for the better anytime this year.
Probably to try and "appease" people while they further debate it.
Well, I'm writing up my nasty gram now and will be sending it to all Senators tonight. Tomorrow, the phone calls begin.
The way he's acting, I think he's already retired.......at least his mind is.
Have you been watching this?
It's like a circus, without the elephants and ring girls. The biggest clown is Reid.
its almost to sad to watch....while people are suffering these clowns are playing with their lives...i have nothing to lose or gain at this point but for so many others they deserve what i got and more if its needed...how dare our government turn their backs on so many people...ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY WANT US TO CELEBRATE 4th OF JULY........
Now we know why Reid called for the cloture vote today. So they could vote, fail, and then adjorn early. At least they will probably have the votes when they get back on the 12th.

If Reid didn't think he had a good chance of passing it his way, he wouldn't have pushed this until after their vacation.
I was just hoping he would do the right thing. But might as well wait to do it his way.
