Well, yes, it will show the full American public just how bad the Democrats are... after you remind these citizens just what the Supreme Court is and what they do, then explain the confirmation process to them, remind them who Samual Alito is, then explain what a filibuster is...

Now - if the full American public hasn't gotten completely bored and switched over to Amercian Idol yet, now you can explain to them why this is all so important, and how it affects them personally. Still got their attention? Eh, maybe a few Americans are still listening to you, but most of them have gone off to bed, because they have a long day tommorow.

I think you give the public too much credit. The average joe on the street - the majority of the public - doesn't give two craps about this stuff.

Nor, do these people whom are watching American Idol care about voting. The ones who are watching this more than likely will make certain they head to the polls. People who vote are usually more informed than those that don't. That's why talk of a filibuster will hurt them.
