Sen Salazar joins the party

After taking much heat from Democrats for supporting AG for AG, Ken Salazar, the freshman Senator from Colorado has asked for President Bush to withdraw his renomination of previously rejected judges:

Salazar, who some Republicans had suggested might be willing to vote with them for certain nominees, wrote Bush asking him to withdraw all of the candidates Democrats blocked in the Senate during the president's first term.

"The decision to renominate these individuals will undoubtedly create the animosity and divisiveness ... that is not helpful to our nation and will sidetrack our collective efforts to work on other crucial matters," Salazar wrote.

Nice to see Ken coming back to the fold.
