I've been hearing a lot of people saying this was a bigoted vote, but I don't see it. Just the normal far left liberal norm. Here are the names who voted against her.
Mr. Jeffords
Mr. Dayton
Barbara Boxer
Edward M. Kennedy (Shock)
John Kerry (another Shock)
Carl Levin
Robert C. Byrd (Well maybe KKK Bob was a racist vote.)
Jack Reed
Richard Durbin
Daniel Akaka
Evan Bayh
Frank Lautenberg
Tom Harkin
No Schumer, Clinton, or Feinstein. That is a surprise.
Of course, the vote for Gonzales ran exactly to political lines. Odd that. Gonzales had less to do with policy than Rice, but he's more disliked. It just doesn't follow that Gonzales was setting policy. He was running the legal checks and giving legal advice to the president, but I see no evidence that he set policy. I watched his senate grilling and I thought he did better than Rice. Much less conflicts with anyone that was coherent. Meaning Teddy was a total jerk, but he was fairly incoherent.

Clintoness did not vote against Rice because, SHE, at least, has not forgotten the Third Way style. She has begun her shift to the right because she knows she can't win office in 2008 unless she does. Then she will immediately jump back to rule from her (true) far left position.
Let's hope most of the US doesn't fall for it. Whoever runs against her needs to play the footage of her rolling her eyes and clapping sarcastically during Bush's post-9/11 speech on every ad they run. Yeah, this b***ch cares about the US. Sure she does.
