All 55 Republicans are on board (RINO's included), and somewhere around 30 Democrats are opposed.

Roberts is on his way in. It's the next nomination that will see the real confirmation fight.

Feingold must have decided that he doesn't want to be the moveon.org 2008 candidate.

Thanks. Was that all of the Dems on committee?

I'll be interested to see how Hillary and the rest of the Dems that are up for reelection in Red States vote.

I'm betting that Nelson(Fl) votes for confirmation.

As for Teddy, shummer, feinstein, biden, and durbin, well, what can we say?

KKK Byrd is going to vote yes. Just heard it on Fox. Of course this is due to the fact he's up for reelection in a red state. Same reason he joined the Gang of 14 idiots. Bunch of phonies.

Byrd is a Constitutional Historian as is Roberts. I bet they really had a great private talk and Roberts charmed and impressed him.

Byrd has **pretensions** to being a constitutional historian. But I've never heard of any sign that the old Grand Master actually is one.

I'm sure Feingold wants to create a (phony) image of moderation and that this played into his 'yes' vote, but as with Leahy and the others its probably more so in preparation for the chance that Bush actually nominates a much more solidly known conseravtive for O'Connor's seat. Then they can attck that candidate without mercy and then claim that 'if only Bush had nominated another mainstream conservative (i.e. another O'Connor type they hope) like Roberts' then they wouldn't have to come out so forcefully against the racist, sexist, homophobic, and regressive radical conservative nominee.

No, there are 8 Democrats on the committee. Pat Leahy, Herb Kohl, and Russ Feingold voted to confirm Roberts.
