Sorry, but I'll never vote for Thune because of THIS:

Another Republican joins the “maverick” club: Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), the man who defeated Tom Daschle, has announced he will not vote for Bush U.N. ambassador nominee John Bolton. Thune says his opposition is payback for the Pentagon’s recommendation to close Ellsworth Air Force Base. Thune now claims that Bolton “is not the best man for the job.”

Thune doesn’t seem to bright to me what does Ellsworth Air Force Base(Defense Dept.) have to do with U.N. ambassador(Diplomatic Service.) I’m having a hard time finding the linkage here.
