Wise Latina Fails to Garner More Confirmation Votes Than a White Man Lacking Her Richness of Experience
68-31.
Nine Republicans voted for her; all 31 no's were from Republicans.
Hall of Shame: DrewM puts me some f'n' information:
Alexander, Bond, Collins, Graham, Gregg, Lugar, Martinez, Snowe and Voinivich were the 'R's who voted yes.
I thought she'd also get Merkowski (Girl Power!) and Hutcinson (Girl Power/Tx Hispanic vote), McCain (Maverick!) Bunning (spite) and Ensign (tough reelection campaign in a state with a lot of Hispanics)
Now that Voinvich isn't running, I bet he's going to spend the next year and a half trying to replace Arlen Specter as the most annoying male member of the Republican caucus.
Voinovich... I see him as more of the "urban" Heath Ledger Joker and less the "urbane" Jack Nicholson Joker too, now that you mention it.
