Dems still pushing postponement of Bolton vote...

Sen. Joe Biden is pushing for a further postponement of the Foreign Relations Committee vote on whether to send John Bolton's name to the full Senate for approval. Democrats smell blood in the water as NE Senator Chuck "I want to be President but nobody likes me" Hagel expressed a wishy-washy attitude toward Bolton on CNN this weekend.

Republicans have been wary of Sen. Lincoln Chafee but have managed to keep him in line. Now Democrats are trying to work on Hagel and make him the one vote that kills the Bolton nomination. IN Senator Richard Lugar is set to argue against the postponement.

This is the last hope for Senate Democrats as Bolton would almost certainly be approved if his nomination is forwarded for consideration. If the GOP leadership allows Hagel to screw them over on this one, Sen. Bill Frist must step down as Majority Leader because, to date, he has shown little or no leadership in that chamber!
