Schumer Predicts More GOP Support For Sotomayor After Graham Announcement
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has released this statement regarding Sen. Lindsey's Graham's (R-SC) announcement that he'll vote to confirm Sonia Sotomayor, with Schumer predicting that more Republican support will be on the way:
"No one questioned Judge Sotomayor more pointedly at the hearings than Senator Graham. For a bellwether vote like him to endorse her suggests that more Republicans should end up supporting her as well."

Mere conjecture on my part....but I really believe that McCain and Graham visited Obama in Chicago after the election to ask that Lieberman keep his chairmanship. I further believe that a deal was struck and we are now seeing one side of that deal--Graham supporting Sotomayor. I think we'll also find McCain out in support as well.
My totall unsubstantiated conjecture......

Wow, is the GOP finally getting smart? Too bad their crazy ass base won't see it that way. All they will see is "Lindsey Graham supported a pro-choice Supreme Court justice". Ohhh man, damned if you do, damned if you don't. Lovely.
