Edwards a no-show.
Could this be taken as the Dems admitting that they don't believe Kerry will win the election?
Good. Now Porter, it's time for you to follow the example of our Marines and GET SOME!!
That's good. Now we have the guy who understands the need to reestablish a working covert network - Project Phoenix is desperately needed...
Now we don't have to worry about any NIE reports BSing about things being very bad in Iraq. We got a director on the Prez's side!
No surprises here.
Any word on the margin? Can't find it at Fox's site yet.
He had a good man vouching for him down here in Florida. Sen and ex Governor Bob Graham.
The vote was 77-17. What's that, lessee 94 Senators voted ... (100 - 94 = 6) So six guys didn't think the confirmation vote on the Director of Central Intelligence was an important vote. I wonder how many are Democrats? I know of at least two that are. Note to DU lurkers. Your guys don't think their votes count, so why should you. Just stay home on election day, git hiiiiiiigh, and cry about Bush winning. You wouldn't know how to deal with victory, anyway.
He sounds like a good man for the job.
I hope he'll start out by cleaning house and getting rid of the clintonoids and the deadwood.
Before we hire any more people for the CIA, we need to straighten out the people who will do the hiring.
So far, the Bush administration has been very weak on the crucial business of cleaning out traitors and scum left over from the previous administration(s).
They're always a day late to post the roll call votes on the Senate.gov website.

Good news.
Ofcourse Dick Durbin voted against it, and the people in Illinois love him! Sometimes I wonder about this state.
That was quick and "Rather" quiet.
I thought that many key Rat Senators were going to fight this to their end.
17 against isn't much of a fight.
Are the senators conceding to a massive Kerry defeat?
