Only 14 Nays in the Senate on the Iraq Appropriations Bill?

In the US House most Democrats voted against the Iraq appropriations bill - but in the Senate only 14 members (and only 10 Democrats!) voted against the bill. Of course among those 14 were 3 presidential candidates (Clinton, Dodd and Obama - Biden voted yea, but his candidacy is a hopeless cause). I find it odd that more members of the majority party didn't vote against the bill, since all the polls seem to point to that being the popular side nationwide. That only 14 would vote against the White House is ... odd. All four senators from our area voted for the bill.
