She's already proven herself primary proof. Collins has not. Flake wants to run for president. And nothing has enraged/motivated GOP voters in a long time like the treatment of Kavanaugh and mob rule tactics of the Democrats.

Mob rule? Jesus Christ.

Uh...this wasn't the confirmation vote. This was the vote to vote for confirmation. The Rs couldn't even get it done, they needed help from a D.

Thought you wanted to work across the aisle.

Agree. Murkowski gave a clear signal.

Collins will announce her vote this afternoon and that will likely be it.

Need the Flake too.

True. Even if Collins/Murkowski are both no, Flake/Manchin could still put Kavanaugh over.

If Collins and Murkowski are nos, it is likely Manchin will be a no as well. He won't want to be the one to put Kavanaugh through.

He would be a hero in WV.

Agree. West Virginia women are not head bobbing weaklings. Many ex-Coal miner's daughters are impoverished and they have suffered sexual abuse from drunken louts all their lives. I would not under estimate their silent anger about this ivy-league, entitled brat.

What the....? Stereotype much.

So because they suffered sexual abuse, they should take it out on a rich guy who had a uncorroboated accusation leveled against him? Like you, I don't think WV women are weak head-bobblers. They know it's wrong to punish an innocent man because someone else abused them.

There was corroborating evidence supporting Prof. Ford's testimony. There is even more corroborating evidence supporting Deborah Ramirez's allegation. Maybe none of it is strong enough to convince you of its truth, but you're just wrong to say there was no corroboration.

But then he'd be voted out. Republicans in WV will be furious that he went along with the Dems' smear campaign.

Why are republicans in WV voting for Manchin? I am Democrat and am puzzled with this logic. Is he uncontested?

What corroborating evidence? The wornesses Ford said could corroborate all said they had no recollection. Anything else is heresy.

Ramirez needed a lot of convincing that the person she accused was Kavanaugh. Took her 6 days to finally decide it was him.

Please post this evidence. I am sincere.

He's very moderate. He's more like a Republican than a Democrat.

Now that the cloture vote happened, the vote on comfirmation will begin 30 hours later (which is tomorrow afternoon) but can Sen. McConnell then keep the vote open until Sunday when that one Republican senator returns from his daughter’s wedding?

Dem here and I don’t understand either. Trump took WV by a margin of 40+ (Hillary got 20-something percent of the vote.)

Yes apparently he can if he needs to.

Corroborating evidence means any evidence that makes her testimony seem more likely to be true - it doesn't mean stone cold proof that we can throw Kavanaugh in jail.

Lots of things corroborated what she said in small ways - the people claiming Kavanaugh often drank to excess, his own calendar showing that he went to gatherings similar to the one she described, etc. etc.

Yes, please encourage Collins to vote for Kavanaugh. There are a bunch of hysterical single women outside her office telling her to vote against Kavanaugh.
She’s too smart for that.

You must have missed the “hysterics” imploring her to vote yes and praying with their hands on her office name plate.

They have appealed for wealthy R donors to private jet this Senator to DC and back, so if needs be, he may vote on Saturday. At any rate, he is willing to do what it takes, after the arm-twisting he received yesterday.
