[steveegg]

Bayh-bye shows up late for a no vote, and Talent rolls in with a late aye.

[Dolphy]

He just voted :)

[COUNTrecount]

Ketchup Boy came up for just enough air to say no.

His butler probably had a hard time tying JF's ascot today.Swollen head.

[The Shrew]

Salazar voted yes? That's the first thing my new scumbag democrat senator has done of which I approve.

I couldn't agree more.

Regards,

TS

Is that a sigar girl walking around on the floor

[AFPhys]

Just about the only surprise here, for me, is Jumpin'Jim's "yes" vote.

[Carolinamom]

Bayh votes NO........late to the party today evidently, must have been "in conference" w/equally late Kerry and Schumer.

[steveegg]

Ayes are 78, nays are 22, Roberts is confirmed!

[Dog]

[Maigrey]

Final Vote: 78-22

My pleasure. Since I work now, I don't get a chance to do a live reporting like I previously did.

[zendari]

78

[HairOfTheDog]

He's kinda creepy, yet, engaging.

But I'll join in...

Congratulations! to Chief Justice Roberts, and President George W. Bush!

[Petronski]

[clintonh8r]

That seems like a bad political calculation on Bayh's part.
