Yep, heard a synopsis of it - that's what I was surprised about.

I'm not getting into a pissing match today but if you look at their votes they side with us most of the time. You are just singeling out the negative things that always heit the press........same with GRaham......he disagrees on a couople things and people label him RINO.......that is just weak intolerance

Mark Dayton, the sole Senator who fled Washington during an elevated terror alert to hide out in a bunker somewhere? He is an utter joke; the Minnesotans who elected him had to be inhaling something, and I don't mean lutefisk fumes, LOL!

On the Senate floor Wednesday, Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), R-Ariz., suggested Democrats are sore losers. Rice had enough votes to win confirmation, as even her Democratic critics acknowledge, McCain said.

"So I wonder why we are starting this new Congress with a protracted debate about a foregone conclusion," McCain said. Since Rice is qualified for the job, he said, "I can only conclude that we are doing this for no other reason than because of lingering bitterness over the outcome of the election."

Well this time ......he seems to be on the Money....but a lot of the time he isn't....

I wouldn't say he is unelectable........he has alot of moderate support crossing the aisle with alot of Dem support too......he would have to get thru the primaries though

Ya know, I have to hand it to Bush. The nomination of Condi was not only a brilliant move on his part to get us an eminently qualified SOS but, politically, it was a stroke of pure genius.

The Dems have bad-mouthed her but they really couldn't afford to vote her down without thoroughly alienating one of their core constituencies. The Dems know they have been had and they had no choice but to confirm her. I would love to have been a fly on the wall, however to listen to the Dem Senate Caucus decide who was going to cast votes against here. Sen. KKK Byrd was an obvious choice but, for the rest, there had to have been 12 short straws to decide who didn't want to be re-elected.

What a conundrum . . . . . and too funny!!!

(And the Dems say Bush is dumb!!!)

oh stop.......McCain is not nearly as bad as he is made out to be. He is a media hog though.....he is with the Repubs on 75% of the stuff and made a good speech today.....bash him for his mod side but thanks for giving him credit when he does the right thing

Actually this scares me. If he does one decent thing, the next two will be against us.

No, no. The one bag goes over her head, and the other bag is for you to put over your head in case her bag breaks...

Well I doubt Lousenberg will be around to run for reelection. Of course he does represent New Jersey and as a democrat he may not have to technically be alive to be awarded the Senate seat.

I'm surprised that Evan Bayh voted no........he is usually pretty non paritsan or at least compared to the others here

Hillary gets all the attention re: 2008, but I believe Evan Bayh is the most dangerous Democrat threat to whichever candidate the Repubs run.

From the caption ...talks to Secretary of State nominee Condoleezza Rice ...

I would have to say a more accurate caption should state that Ms. Boxer is talking at Condoleeza Rice. By the look of look of Miss Rice's body language, it appears she has a better offer stage left. I think she simply wants to get away from the loon. Wouldn't you?
