The Donald and the No Confidence Vote by Dems

From The Blue State, which goes along with my mention on Thursday that Barbara Boxer (Senate: D-CA) - from her interview on MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" - will introduce a non-binding resolution calling for Secretary of Defense (and the Indefensible) Donald Rumsfeld to be fired:

Even though the Democrats have been the targets of the Administration's foreign policy offensive all week long, this is also a great opportunity for them. Last week, there were murmurings inside circles of the Democratic Party about calling for a no-confidence vote of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, anticipating that many moderate Republicans up for reelection would join the resolution.

With the Defense Secretary's latest tirade this week where he compared war critics to Nazi appeasers, the Democrats may have their best opportunity to introduce the "no confidence vote" resolution.
