That's exactly right. If Lugar had stuck to his guns, and had Allen or Coleman make a vote motion at 4 PM it would have been different, I think.

Voinovich Says No On Bolton 04/19 04:36 PM

George Voinovich just announced that he “does not feel comfortable” voting in favor of John Bolton on the Foreign Relations Committee. Hagel has announced he will vote for Bolton. The media has not focused on Voinovich for weeks, as he earlier announced his intentions to support Bolton.

UPDATE: In light of Voinovich's revelation, the SFRC agreed to delay the vote on Bolton for two weeks. After a month of speculating on Hagel and Chafee's intentions, it is the Republican senator from Ohio who probably just ended Bolton's chances of becoming U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

In addition, Voinovich did not attend the committee hearings last week - but he didn't let that stand in his way.

Its over..

Do you have some knowledge of Senator Voinovich's vote at 4 pm vs. 5 pm that the rest of us don't have?

You know, Voinivich gains both ways........his alleged busy excuse gives him brownie points w/his dem friends/colleagues in giving them what they want and he has not yet said he'd not vote for Bolton, so he's holding on to his Rep friends/colleagues.

HOWEVER, he's toast for 1)not doing his job and for 2)blind siding Lugar instead of getting up to speed and/or notifying Lugar BEFOREHAND.
