Re: Voinovich
I was floored when I heard a clip of his speech. Amazing stuff.
​
As for Bolton: There has to be a better choice for U.N. ambassador. If not, our nation is in a really sad state.
​
ABE: Of course, if after such an emotional speech, Voinovich could have mustered up enough spine to actually vote against Bolton in the committee, instead of letting him through....it would have been nice.

Re: Voinovich
The committee (foreign relations)that handles this nomination is always a 10 to 8 split between the majority and minority of the Senate. In this case 10 Reps, and 8 Dems. If Voinovich had voted no in the committee, and he obviously doesn't like Bolton, then it would have been kept at the committee level instead of coming to the senate for debate. Bolton made it out of committee, but without a recommendation, so now the senate gets to debate it. The last vote was to close off the debate (cloture) and it failed to get the 60 votes needed. So there will be more debate before a final vote takes place.
