It looks like Chief Justice Roberts will get 72 votes! That's good news

- In an interview, Dean said Democratic unity is essential in the upcoming battle and that the party "absolutely" should be prepared to filibuster -- holding unlimited debate and preventing an up-or-down vote -- Bush's next high court nominee, if he taps someone they find unacceptably ideological. He cited appellate court judges Priscilla R. Owen and Janice Rogers Brown as two who would be likely to trigger such opposition.

Just thought I'd let you know about a site where you can make over $800 a month in extra income. Go to this site MAKE MONEY NOW and put in your zip code..... up will pop several places where you can get paid to secret shop, take surveys, etc. It's free. I found several and I live in a small town!

Minority or women-probably hispanic
Non-conventional pick-perhaps not a federal judge with a long track record
