Fred Barbash-Moderator - Welcome readers and welcome Robert Alt. Thanks for taking the time to be with us. I'll get things started with a quick one and then turn it over to the readers.

Care to make a prediction on the Sotomayor vote today? How many votes against?

12:01

Robert Alt - Unless someone changes their vote on the floor, there are already 31 promised votes against Sotomayor. The last uncommitted Republican is Voinovich, and I predict that he will vote yea, leaving the final count at 31 nays.
