How will Senators Bennet and Udall Vote on the Confirmation of Ben Bernanke

My guess is that both will vote in favor of confirming Obama’s choice.  For starters Udall isn’t up for reelection until 2014 and he has some political cover in that Harry Reid is going to vote to confirm him.

As for Bennet I also think he will vote to confirm Ben Bernanke. A no vote would certainly send the right message that he is fed up with Wall Street running our country and it would give those who claim he is in the pockets of special interests less of an argument.  But the truth is Michael Bennet is in the pocket of special interests and a vote against Ben Bernanke would put him at odds with his campaign contributors. Ben Bernanke was instrumental in helping the banks bring us to the brink of disaster so both Bennet and Udall would have cover if they grew some and voted against the confirmation of Ben Bernanke.

What do you think they will vote on the confirmation of Ben Bernanke and how do you think they should vote?
