Sotomayor Vote Tracking And Pool (Bumped/Updated)

Now that members are beginning to announce their votes we can start tracking the total votes. The current count of yes and no votes are as follows, the remainder being undecided. Obviously we can assume most or all Democrats will vote yes but until they announce I won’t list them.

We’ve also got a pool going in the replies. Feel free to chime in.

YES: 22 votes (16D, 6R)

NO:  24 votes (all R)

Democrats are currently 16-0 on the nomination (trending for 60-0)

Republicans are currently 6-24 on the nomination (trending for 8-32)

Assuming these margins more or less stand up then we’d have a 68-32 vote in support.

Just for reference on the two Bush nominees the votes were as follows:

Alito: Republicans were 54-1 in favor, Democrats were 4-41 against.

Roberts: Republicans were 55-0 in favor, Democrats were split 22-22.

So it looks like the GOP will come about in between those two standards.

By contrast, on the two Clinton nominees, the GOP voted heavily in favor (40-3 and 34-9)

Sad the way things have shifted.
