On my way home tonight, I was listening to NPR, which is quite rare. They reported on Bush's nomination of Pennsylvania Judge Smith being confirmed by a "narrow" margin; 64-35. I realize that this is the closest vote to date on one of his nominations, but I'd hardly call that a "narrow" margin. Sixty four votes means that at least 14 democrats, 28%, crossed party lines to vote for this "controversial" nomination.
