Wimping out on the Mukasey vote

So as the US Senate confirmed AG Mukasey, a man who can't decide if repeated drowning attempts is torture, our Senators failed to show leadership. Here's how the vote went:

All Republicans present for the vote voted to confirm...no surprise.
Here are the Democrats who voted YEA for Mukasey:

Bayh (D-IN)
Carper (D-DE)
Feinstein (D-CA)
Landrieu (D-LA)
Nelson (D-NE)
Schumer (D-NY)

And here are the wimps who chose not to vote:

Alexander (R-TN)
Biden (D-DE)
Clinton (D-NY
)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Dodd (D-CT)
McCain (R-AZ)
Obama (D-IL)

How pathetic. Read the full story on the Daily Kos.
