Bolton nomination in jeopardy

Actually, I think it may be sunk, but we'll see. Turns out George Voinovich (R-Ohio) is "not comfortable" voting for Bolton. Hagel also expressed reservations. Lugar has agreed to delay the vote until after the Senate recess which means the Bolton nomination will be argued again the week of May 9th.(Take that, The Note)

Guess that leaves you, Lincoln "I'm still a Republican" Chafee.

...apparently Hagel said he would vote to send Bolton's nomination to the floor but seemed to indicate he might not vote to confirm him on the floor.
