| How is Durbin going to vote? |
|
Dick Durbin, senior Senator from Illinois, strongly criticized Rice but didn't actually say he planned to vote no.
Which makes me think he'll end up voting yes.
What do you think?

| 4. He Was A Liberal Luminary Up Until Today... |

I would vote against Rice because she lacks the wisdom and judgment to be the Secretary of State but it's absurd to make this vote a litmus test...

| 7. I was joking, Dick Durbin is my favorite Senator |
|
I was responding to the absurdity of those on DU who are calling every dem senator who isn't militantly anti-rice a DINO. Dick Durbin has more integrity than almost any person in that body. He's a great senator and a great American.

| 11. I Agree... I Think Making This Vote A Litmus Test Is Absurd... |
|
That being said this is a "free" vote for Durbin and he should vote no....
