Mephisto--there is some truth to what you wrote--I agree that the vote would be closer if Ashcroft hadn't been a senator; I think the two North Dakota Democrats wouldn't have voted for him had Ashcroft not helped them on a big dam project in that state. I can tell you, though, that even had he NOT been a senator he would still have been confirmed, albeit by a closer margin. The Republicans have 50 votes, and in all likelihood, all 50 of them will vote for Ashcroft, all they need is one Democrat to vote with them, and there's no doubt in my mind that they would have got at least one Democrat to vote with them with or without Ashcroft being a former Senator...
