Hayden Approved 78-15.

Well, that wasn't much of a fight. Dems apparently were not as alarmed as I on Michael Hayden, with only a paltry 14 voting against. Give Arlen Specter his props--he was the sole Republican to dissent.

Dems in opposition:
Evan Bayh, Maria Cantwell, Hillary Clinton, Mark Dayton, Christopher Dodd, Byron Dorgan, Dick Durbin, Russell Feingold, Tom Harkin, Edward Kennedy, John Kerry, Robert Menéndez, Barack Obama, Ron Wyden.

I should go on a rant here, but I just don't have the energy. It is interesting to note, however, that four of five Senators with presidential hopes (italicized) voted against. Only Joe Biden voted for.
