From the Politico:
"Nearly a month after President Barack Obama picked her for the Supreme Court, Republican senators say Sonya Sotomayor isn’t serving as the political lightning rod some in their party had hoped she would be.
'She doesn’t have the punch out there in terms of fundraising and recruiting, I think — at least so far,' said Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), who most likely will be elected as the No. 4 Republican in Senate leadership this week."
For the GOP to think that their venomous attacks against an accomplished judge/lawyer would pull in the cash and support is ludicrous. I think they know their licked on this one.
