The Rice vote by the senator who was held up by the DLC and DNC as...

[jswordy]

...the kind of new style Democrat we need to be able to win? Uh, Sen. Blanche Lincoln? The same one who was making speeches to the Dem leadership just after the election about what needed to be done, with support from Donna Brazille, et al?

1. Heck, even Barbara Mikulski voted for Rice

2. It's about right and wrong, not liberal credentials.

And frankly it is incomprehensible to me.
