Not suprised, On Friday morning, Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) became the first to officially say he would vote for Sotomayor. He released a statement in support of Judge Sotmayor on his website praising her temperament during the hearings and her experience.
Lindsey graham has been hinting he would vote to confirm her but it would be interesting to see how many conservative republican votes she gets.
Lugar's statement below
"I have listened to the testimony of Judge Sonia Sotomayor before the Senate Judiciary Committee, carefully reviewed her public service record, and reviewed recommendations from Indiana constituents and colleagues here in the Senate.
Judge Sotomayor is clearly qualified to serve on the Supreme Court and she has demonstrated a judicial temperament during her week-long nomination hearing. Judge Sotomayor has had a distinguished career of public service. She is well regarded in the legal community and by her peers.
I will vote to confirm Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States."

GOP aides see Sonia Sotomayor garnering between eight and 12 Republican votes next week
Freepers AKA Trailer trash racists responds
Worthless guilty whitey liberal. To this day I still don’t get why the GOP seriously wonders why it loses elections.
Lugar should be DELUGED with phone calls and lettes attacking him for the gutless coward he is.
These people are really SCUM.
They take our tax dollars and campaign contributions and then knife us in the back.
Soto-Mayor is a grossly unqualified sexist Racist. Her nomination is an INSULT to every true American.
GOP Senators who support her nomination - EVERY ONE - should be purged from office in the elections
This guy had the brain damaged expression and drool running down his chin ten years ago, and he's still a senator?
Vichy republicans like Richard K. Lugar
have corrupted and destroyed this Republic
by collaborating with the
National Socialist Democrat American Party
Lugar went down the toilet a long time ago.
Oh Brother, Lugar needs to watch his back
Please call and thank Sen Lugar
