...come forth with specific charges against individual senators. "How can there be corruption if no one is corrupt? That's like saying the gang is corrupt but none of the gangsters are." And on and on the Senate?s head GOP fund-raiser went, joined variously by Utah Republican Robert Bennett and Washington GOPer Slade Gorton, both mentioned on McCain?s web site as rather pliant targets of soft-money donations. And thus was Thursday frittered away...
...McCain can take comfort from the fact that a day of Republican cannibalism rites (performed while Democrats looked on in bemused horror) didn?t harm his chances of picking up those votes. That?s because those chances remain at slim to none, and to mangle the old aphorism, Slim?s out back holding a fund-raiser.

But postponing the vote won't avert that danger. Whether the Senate votes or decides to table the motion is irrelevant to the governments of such newly nuclear states as India and Pakistan. What matters is that the U.S. has failed to ratify the CTBT. Postponing...
