Is this guy running for anything soon?

Because if he is, I'm gonna' send him some money. CNN:

Sen. Max Baucus, D-Montana, said after a morning meeting with Alito that he would vote against President Bush's Supreme Court nominee as too far outside the mainstream of judicial thinking.

Her too:

Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Maryland, also said she would vote against Alito. "I have a lot of unanswered questions," Mikulski said after attending the swearing-in of new Sen. Robert Menendez, D-New Jersey.

This guy, on the other hand, we put in the lifeboat with Lieberman. The guys from across the aisle can pick them up.

Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, one of the most conservative Democrats in Congress, announced Tuesday in a statement that he had made up his mind to support Alito "because of his impeccable judicial credentials, the American Bar Association's strong recommendation and his pledge that he would not bring a political agenda to the court."

As for Snowe, say it isn't so, Olympia!.

Of course Lieberman might end up voting against Alito. Actually I'd expect him too. While I tend to loathe him he's not too bad on judicial nominations.

Feinstein came out in favor of Alito as well, though I'm not sure if she's going to go with that or she's changed her mind. Her presence at Gore's speech is the only reason I have to call that into question, but "hope springs eternal," yadda yadda.
