"....I don't think Bolton will make it to the UN..am I wrong?"
Yes. Unless someone finds pictures of Bolton in bed with a dead girl or a live boy, Bolton will be confirmed. There is no filibuster here.
I agree no filibuster here. But, while I really like Bolton, I think it would be funny to see the dims waste their two ounces of political capital on fighting this one. At the end of the day they would lose, then they would have nothing left when it comes to judicial nominees. I guess we will see.
From your lips to God's ear.

Yep, I think he is a poor choice for nomination because we needto work with our allies not antagonize them but there is no justification for not approving him. All you can really say is that he pressured analysts to change their analysis and that people who disagreed with him don't like him. That's not enough reason to not approve him.
Even the Washington says he should be approved

>>Will Mr. Bolton perpetuate the divisions from a new perch in New York? That seems to us a risk. But it also strikes us as a risk that a president is entitled to take on if he wants. Mr. Bush surely knows what role Mr. Bolton played in the first term, and he says he wants to put Mr. Bolton's bluntness to work at the United Nations. The nominee is intelligent and qualified; we still see no compelling reason to deny the president his choice.<<
