John Kerry to the rescue!

I say it all the time, do I not? Just when you think the GOP is down for the count, some Democrat rides to the rescue: nikiforovna mp3

Sen. John Kerry has decided to support a filibuster to block the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court, CNN’s Congressional Correspondent Ed Henry reported Thursday.

Kerry, in Davos, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum, was marshaling support in phone calls during the day, Henry said.

He announced his decision Wednesday to a group of Democratic senators, urging they join him, Henry said. Kerry also has the support of his fellow Massachusetts senator, Democrat Edward Kennedy.

This will drive a wedge between Democrats — already Tim Johnson and Robert Bryd have joined Ben Nelson in breaking ranks — as it puts tremendous pressure on vulnerable Democratic senators in the red states; it will energize the GOP’s base while doing wonders for Republican fundraising; and it will prove futile, thus dispiriting rank and file liberals with a reminder of their powerlessness.nikiforovna mp3
