The only Dems that voted for Ashcroft were a few DINOs, Feingold and Chris Dodd (I think).

EDIT: Yes, here it is:

Eight Democrats joined all the Senate's Republicans to confirm Ashcroft. They included: Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, Robert Byrd of West Virginia, John Breaux of Louisiana and Zell Miller of Georgia.

One Democrat stepped forward to express unexpected support for the nomination. Connecticut's Dodd said he thought White and Hormel were treated shamefully, but he was not willing to punish Ashcroft in the same way. Thus, Dodd said, Ashcroft would get a 'yes' vote.
