| Backbone Implant Results: Reps More Confident Bolton Will Be Confirmed |
| 2005-04-26 |
| EFL and spin - Al-Rooters Republicans expressed growing confidence on Tuesday that the Senate will confirm John Bolton as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, despite Democrats' contention he is a bully unsuited to the post. "The allegations are being to my mind very successfully debunked one by one," said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a Tennessee Republican. "I'm optimistic at the direction it's taking." Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who said more time was needed to examine Bolton's record, said so far she has not seen information to prompt her to vote against him. "At this point in time I have not learned of anything that would change my mind, but it's my obligation to look thoroughly and see if there's any basis to what has been raised," Murkowski of Alaska told reporters. |
