New START Daily Wrap: Day 7
Posted by Kelsey Hartigan

Cloture invoked:  “victory for common sense” ahead.  Hours ago, the Senate voted 67 – 28 to close the floor debate on New START and move towards a final vote.  Senators now have up to 30 hours to wrap up the floor debate, though Hill observers expect the final vote to come sometime Wednesday.  Five senators were absent for today’s vote—and at least three, Sens. Wyden, Bayh and Gregg—plan to vote for the pact tomorrow.  Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) released a statement today after the vote, saying, “We are on the brink of writing the next chapter in the 40-year history of wrestling with the threat of nuclear weapons… All eyes will be on the Senate in these last hours of debate and all will see a victory for common sense and the Senate act in its best traditions.”

GOP support pours in for New START.  As top military officials continued to urge the Senate to ratify New START, conservatives were clearly feeling the heat.  Editorial boards across the country lambasted treaty opponents. “Enough posturing,” write the LA Times. “A party that claims to oppose political gamesmanship and favor a strong national defense is giving itself a black eye.”  By the end of the day, eleven GOP senators – Lugar, Alexander, Bennett, Brown, Cochran, Collins, Corker, Isakson, Murkowski, Snowe and Voinovich – all announced they will support the treaty’s final passage and voted to close off debate today.  Additional support could come tomorrow. 

Treaty opponents cling to partisan frame.  Rich Lowry wrote this morning on the National Review Online, “Republican opposition to New START is collapsing.” Lowry further suggested that the New START debate has been a “dismaying rout” for conservative opponents.   As The Cable points out, , “Everyone here on Capitol Hill is beginning to see the ratification of New START as increasingly inevitable – everyone, that is, except for Sen. Jon Kyl.” Greg Sargent further notes, “It seems particularly ludicrous that at a presser today, Senator Lindsey Graham actually apologized to Jon Kyl on behalf of the rest of the Senate, because it isn't doing his bidding and instead is ratifying New START.”

It's been a week already and hopefully we're getting what we're asking for here. Your clever perception of things could do more than destruct others. Good luck!

Are you this kind of listener? It’s not a good manner of listening because you might miss part of messages and don’t catch the nuances of your ugg boots clearance
communication with others. And if you are always the kind of critical and judgmental, people will feel it unpleasant to communicate with you, and avoid it.

As a former Broome UGG Boots-hater myself, I was converted when I discovered that there was more to ugg boots clearance than the plain old ugly UGG Adirondack Boots. Their website even has a section for “Fashion” boots. While I would argue that some of those featured in that section are still quite repulsive, there are a few gems

I was thinking this myself. I believe the LED Lighting GOP should run either a woman, hispanic or black LED Tube candidate to counter Obama. Unfortunately Palin has a large negative. But with us conservatives she is a huge positive.LED Display She has said that she may run unless their is another candidate running who "gets it". That candidate needs to have a LED Tube certain independence and no huge political baggage. I hope Cain passes muster. I am not keen on the FairTax stuff, and see it mainly as a distraction. Instead go LED Display with Ryan's flat tax proposals, or Steve Forbes flat tax ideas. In fact get Steve Forbes as an advisor. He has been absolutely correct through the whole Compression Tube Fittings recession.

Nice information, many thanks to the author. It is incomprehensible to me now but in general, the usefulness and significance is overwhelming. Thanks again and good luck!

just dropping by to say that I'm really excited that you're writing again.also, your recent posts just got me to revisit my unfairly-ignored Jonathan Richman records, and so thanks for that as well. Cheers

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. This
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If our value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour this year as we release thirty-six text
files per month, or 432 more Etexts in 1999 for a total of 2000+
If these reach just 10% of the computerized population, then the
total should reach over 200 billion Etexts given away this year.

Thanks for your useful tips.The SEO has been a big question I’m looking for more effective ways.So many people want to study about it,I think one can write the articles with their own experience will be better.A website with excellent search engine optimization can rank high in google. pariu

A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
