What Were Landrieu, Nelson, and Pryor Thinking?
by rayman
On Tuesday I idly speculated that the newly annointed Centrist Kingmakers in the Senate, emboldened by a fawning DC media, could pose some problems for Harry Reid. But I didn't expect them to bite us in the posterior this soon. Senate Dems (barely) prevented John Bolton's nomination from coming to a final vote while the White House and the NSA continue dragging their heels. But Landrieu, Nelson, and Pryor--three members of the Gang of 7--inexplicably voted for cloture. Steve Clemons, who has been all over the Bolton nomination, promises "[m]ore--lots more--on them later."
I'm looking forward to it.
