61. But the Senate is

....a problem too and it could go Republican because Koch money thinks very locally and concentrates on regional wins while we are all distracted by the Presidency.

A Republican Senate will only confirm a real right of center judge and the nominee won't therefore be another Ginsberg. Unless of course we get a fighter for the President---like Warren.

Besides, since when did Republicans have to be credible to win in this country?

I think Ginsberg has risked the country by not retiring in '08.
