White House Reaffirms Support For Bolton
After a "surprise" delay to vote on John Bolton's nomination yesterday, the White House remained firm in their support for the nominee.
"We need to get John Bolton to the United Nations because it is an important position," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said. "We need to get him there sooner rather than later."Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she understands the Senate needs time to weigh the issue of his nomination, but reaffirmed her strong endorsement of Bolton.
"I continue to believe that John Bolton would be a really great U.N. permanent representative,." Rice told reporters as she flew from Russia to Lithuainia on Wednesday.

If only the Senate Foreign relations committee felt the same way.
My prediction: The Senate Foreign relations committee will NOT vote to recommend Bolton. His nomination will stagnate in the same manner as some of Bush's other radical Right-wing nominees.
