John Conryn argued forcibly AGAINST her nomination on the Senate floor, repeatedly questioning her fitness for SOS, then voted AYE when the floor vote came up.
Jim DeMint argued forcibly FOR her nomination in committee hearings, treating her with kid gloves and gushing over as a person who would likely become one of our "greatest" Secretary of States, then voted NAY when the floor vote came up.
Basically, Conryn was against her before he was for her, and Demint was for her before he was against her.
It looks like if they needed 60 that she would have failed, but its always possible that more would have voted for her then.
I heard about the deal they go on the abortion part of the bill in return for this vote and it didn’t sound too great.
Senators, are there a bigger group of a-holes out there?
At least they aren’t appointed to office by state legislative party leaders, then they’d be unaccountable a-holes.
