The missing Eschaton link is back, as well as a new article with slightly different numbers. Lower numbers for the anti-fillibuster side, in fact. A Washington Post poll now has the "change the rules" camp at a fabulous 26%. (Warning: link is an annoying PDF. Sorry.) Says Atrios:

I'm one who pegs Bush's base support at about 35%. By base, I mean "would rather eat shit and die than oppose dear leader." So, to get anything falling below that is truly stunning.

Agreed. Like I said before, the numbers were looking somewhat Schiavo-ish. Now, they're looking totally Schiavo-ish, with about the same viability level. Look for DeLay and Frist to pull some finger-pointing scandal out of their asses to try to make this whole debacle go away and erase the phrase "nuclear option" from our collective memory.
