Six of the sixteen Senate Democrats to vote for the bill are from indisputably blue states (not counting semi-Democrat Joe Lieberman from blue Connecticut). A majority hail from blue or purple states. I don't disagree with you that it was politically prudent for Democrats from competitive states to back the FISA legislation, but I think those facts mean something.
Imagine how many Democrats would have voted for the bill if there was a Democratic president.
