1. wooooo-hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[liveoaktx]

2. Good! But why is for *Freedom and Democracy* mission in Iraq???

[Walt Starr]

3. I am profoundly amazed

This is real SHOCK AND AWE!!!

Let's see how he actually votes.

[kentuck]

5. Me too !

Unbelievable!

[Cadence]

9. O.k. I thought they already voted before the inauguration

and only two Democratic Senators voted no? So they haven't voted yet and we don't know if she will be confirmed?

I'm confused. Can anyone clear this up for me?

[Nite Owl]

12. That was the committee vote

this is now the full Senate.

[mattclearing]

13. That was the committee vote. This is the full Senate. n/t

[ET Awful]

16. That was just the Foreign Relations Committee hearing to determine

whether a vote could even be held for confirmation.

[Cadence]

30. O.k. I'm back on track!

Thanks!

17. COnfused

The Foreign Relations Committee voted to pass her nomination on to the full Senate. Boxer and Kerry were the only 2 on that committee to vote against her

A TX Repug Senator is speaking now. Get the BS Away Spray ready!

[Cadence]

32. Thank you. So this time it's looking like

more than just Kerry and Boxer will be voting against her?

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

34. Yes - many Dems will vote against

Unfortunately she will stil be confirmed and the MSM will not give these speeches much coverage. It will be portrayed as "Partisan bickering" :(

Thank God for CSPAN . I'm at work and listening to it from their website coverage

[Pirate Smile]

4. He is running for President, isn't he? Well, if he starts showing

some backbone, that is a very good thing. I was worried it was going to be another Joementum type speech.

[Rose Siding]

6. Well blow me down.

[indigonation]

7. Yay! Sen Bayh. These are the dems we voted for. Kick ass! n/t

[lachattefolle]

11. Senator Bayh is a Republican, which makes this VERY awesome.

Oops. Sorry about that-I mispoke. I thought he was a Republican. I just saw the D in front of his name on C-SPAN.

[liveoaktx]

15. No, he's Dem, he only has SEEMED like a Republican

[lachattefolle]

19. Sorry, I just noticed he was a Dem. Could have fooled me though, like you

said, he seems like a Republican.

[TheWebHead]

20. no, he's not

Though he gets treated like one on this forum quite frequently. It may suggest he's positioning himself for '08, I hope so anyways.

[JI7]

8. i think he wants to run for President

[NewYorkerfromMass]

35. It's a definite possibility

seems like a good way to begin to position himself, although he's a corporate Dem if ever there was one.

[Roland99]

10. I'm moving to IN hopefully by the end of the year

Seriously.

[blueblitzkrieg]

14. Wow I'm very shocked...

Way to go Sen. Bayh!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

18. Did somebody put some calcium in his Jello?

Whatever will his DLC mentors think?

[blm]

23. I'd say khephra's spirit gave him a prod on this one.

.

[Mel]

27. I've been thinking about Khephra today

I miss Khephra!!

I like your thought that 'khephra's spirit gave him a prod on this one'

[Justitia]

21. O My Freakin God - it must be snowing in hell

I cannot believe that Bayh is voting NO!

I am stupefied and happily amazed.

Is this a coordinated effort?

I sure as hell hope so!

Who are these pod people and what did they do with our DINOs?

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

25. Snowing in Hell

Too bad the MSM will bury this on page 99 and John Q Public (who thinks Michael Moore is a liar) will not read it. All the TV news will tell them is that Rice was approved

[quiet.american]

22. Damn - pinch me - am I awake! n/t

[Justitia]

24. UGH my repug Rice apologist is on - pity me, fellow DUers

KBH makes me sick with her "Rice is soooo great" speech.

Blech.

[crispini]

26. Boxer has apparently been passing out spine cells.

Allelujah!

[Skidmore]

28. Dems practice stem cell research without a license.....

:)

[crispini]

33. LOL! nt

[BlueInRed]

29. What the?

You're serious? Of all the people, I would never have predicted that one.

[aden_nak]

31. He did the math. Spine + Vote No On Rice = Happy Voters
