“I believe Brett Kavanaugh is a good man,” she says. But he’s “not the right man for the court.”

I do not agree with her on that - but agree with the second part.

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.

Yes, let's mock people that pray, too.

I forgot to add I'm a Dem and would implore you not to mock people who pray just because we don't agree with them.

Gonna leave this here. Love this!

Up to 1.9 mil now!

All the pledges are pulled in a few days. Those women can now buy oil for the winter rather than throw their money to lobbyists, pollsters, printers, political operatives, and pizza.

Who thinks that liberals essentially threatening her is a good idea at this point?

I hope she can successfully encourage Flake and Collins to think long and hard about voting for this slimeball.

Flake already announced he is "YES"... I guess we all knew he had no spine when it actually comes to vote against GOP. It boils down to Collins. Manchin will vote the way Collins does.

We have just as much of a right to pour millions into politics as rich corporations. They are not shy about writing checks to get what they want.

I think we should get all money out of politics. But as long as people with money make the rules, that's not going to happen. We have to play by their rules and that's what this is a symptom of.

I'll see you all at 3pm then, when Collins announces how she's voting.

I've got work to do until then.

CNN banner says Flake announced he’s a yes, but they aren’t discussing. Weird.

Link because I am pretty sure that is not right.

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.

Please post this evidence. I am sincere.

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.

But lots of high school kids drink/get drunk and go to small gatherings. Her best friend says that she was not at any party nor does not remember meeting Brett Kavanaugh. There is even an article today in the WSJ that Leland felt pressured to change her testimony:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/friend-of-dr-ford-felt-pressure-to-revisit-statement-1538715152?mod=trending_now_3

That goes to the weight of the evidence, not whether there was any. There was evidence even if, ultimately, you find it to be insufficiently persuasive.

Where is the article talking about Kavanaugh's tampering with Ramirez witnesses?

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.

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?

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

Then why would they not vote an actual Republican in stead for voting for someone is "like a Republican"?

Not sure, since I'm not from WV, but a good guess would be that his opponent was too far to the right, and so the moderate was more appealing.

I do that in the opposite. I'm an R, but if the R running is too extreme and the D is moderate (like Stewart v Kaine), I'll go with the moderate. Or at least, I have in the past. I'm so furious with the Dems' smear campaign that I don't see myself voting for a D senator again any time soon.

Would you vote for Stewart? Or would you sit at home or write in?

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.

Yup. And that was from a liberal. Can you imagine if a conservative made some negative stereotype about inner-city ghetto dwellers? But as long as you're putting down poor whites, it's fine.

Yes. If he thinks that little of women, it will be easier to overturn Roe.

PP, your comment makes no relevant sense.

PPP was commenting on patronizing WV commenter.
