On his debit side: he loves the democrats a bit TOO much.
Maybe he is fond of the good old days when republicans knew their place, back of the bus.
But at least he got to have a beer with Tip O'Neill after a royal beat-down.
Republicans who voted for Elena Kagan, who was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 63-37:
Richard Lugar
Lindsey Graham
Judd Gregg
Susan Collins
Olympia Snowe
That makes 5 Senate Republicans more liberal than Democrat Ben Nelson who voted NAY.
If they had voted conservative, she would have been filibustered off the bench.
