Not sure how many Dems but I do know 77 of 100 senators and 296 of 435 House members voted to authorize the president to use force against Iraq.
Found this:
The Senate vote sharply divided Democrats, with 29 voting for the measure and 21 against. All Republicans except Sen. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island voted for passage.

The Senate voted 77-23 to authorize President Bush to attack Iraq if Saddam Hussein refuses to give up weapons of mass destruction as required by U.N. resolutions.
Hours earlier, the House approved an identical resolution, 296-133.
So not everyone was on board.

If you can find the date the vote was taken (The Congressional Record might help on this) it would note who voted how
- 1 decade ago
Only one senator (Feingold) voted against the authorization for President Bush to use force. However, they were told that there were WMD's and that Iraq was an imminant threat to US Security backed up by false information feed to the senate by the whitehouse.
