Actually, I think it was the filibustering prior to the compromise that probably killed this possibility. Had the Dems used votes against cloture to merely extend the debate so that an effective campaign could be waged, noting the whole time that they would eventually invoke cloture, then they indeed might have succeeded. But by using the "no cloture possible" filibuster, they: #1. Effectively killed the possibly of a debate or a serious campaign against her; and #2. Hardened the positions of even the moderate Republicans on the filibustered nominees. “I think that it would have been possible to get 6 or 7 Republicans to vote against her, if an effective campaign had been waged.”
