Sotomayor's Chances
ByNate Silver notices:
Sonia Sotomayor was the subject of a roll call vote
in 1998, when she was confirmed to her current position the 2nd
Circuit. The overall vote was 67-29 in favor of confirmation, with 4
Senators not voting. All Democrats voted in favor of Sotomayor
(although three did not vote), while Republicans opposed her by a 29-25
majority. Among those Senators who are still in the chamber
today, however, Sotomayor's margin of confirmation was a bit more
comfortable: 35-11.
