The Vote Is In
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee just voted 16-2 to recommend Dr. Rice as the new Secretary of State.
The two "nay" votes? Kerry and Boxer. Are we surprised? Uh... no.
Yesterday, Senator Kerry acted as if he was still on the campaign trail, and Senator Boxer did a very good impersonation of an uninformed spoiled brat. So much for his own party following Senator Biden's recommendation to just "get over it."
Now, Dr. Rice's nomination goes to the full Senate for confirmation, which she will get by an overwhelming margin.
