62-34 to shelve an amendment pushed by Durbin

That's not even close. Eleven DemocRATS had to vote against the amendment to get to that vote total! Obviously there are at least a few DemocRATS who aren't totally brain dead. I would like to see a state by state and senate class breakdown on which DemocRATS voted with the majority. I wonder if there were some red state senators who are up for election in 2004 who voted for it?

I don't understand why Ben Nelson from Nebraska doesn't just walk across the aisle and become a Republican. He votes with Republicans almost all the time!
