The Senate just voted for cloture on Ben Bernanke's confirmation for his second term as Federal Reserve Chairman. The vote was 77-23 . This vote is good news for the country as it shows that sanity has prevailed over misplaced populism and anger over the Federal Reserve Chairman. The facts here are pretty clear and those facts dictate that Mr. Bernanke is the right man for the job at this time.
UPDATE: Final vote tally for confirmation was 70-30
