“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Oh, please

MSNBC:
Meanwhile, an array of conservative leaders in Iowa, which holds its first-in-the-nation presidential caucuses in 2008, warned Republican presidential contenders that they must support Frist’s move to end filibusters of nominees.

Frist is a potential contender for the 2008 presidential nomination.

“We are concerned about the two potential (presidential) candidates, Sen. McCain, and from our neighboring state of Nebraska, Sen. Hagel, who have so far refused to support an up or down vote," the group said.

Are any conservatives really going to look to party moderates like McCain or Hagel as their candidate? I think not. McCain has seen through the crap and is on the record voting no. Hagel is still up in the air, but he has to see through this at some point. Or so one would hope.

Either way, it's still close.
