I think Baucus' first statement was a little overblown (especially on the blogs, where they were calling for his head...) It's pretty obvious that he was just caught off guard/wanted to emphasize that he was more concerned with health care at the moment.

Has Begich made a statement yet? Since the NR(epublican)A has decided to score this vote, and that endorsement is pretty important up in Alaska, he might be tempted against it.

John "Bipartisan hero" McCain is voting against her? What a piece of crap.

Sonya Sotomayor has just been confirmed by a vote of 68 to 31.

The official anouncement was made by none other than Al Franken!

Does anyone have the full list of votes?

59 Democrats (all but Kennedy, who did not vote) + 9 Republicans (Lamar Alexander, Kit Bond, Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, Judd Gregg, Richard Lugar, Mel Martinez, Olympia Snowe, and George Voinovich).

I wonder how Kyl thinks he's going to win re-election in 2012. He only got 53% of the vote in 2006 against a mediocre candidate, and it's not like the Hispanic vote in Arizona is shrinking.
