Just a few days ago they were saying it was Bush who told Frist and Graham to cut a deal because he was afraid they didn't have the votes.
I don't think we are ever sure of the truth.
As for Biden and Dodd, they probably want the names so they can stall longer by calling them each before the committee.
Rush had a good point...after hearing about the new book describing the clinton whitehouse tactics, if they think Bolten doesn't have the temperament to serve how could clinton who wants to run the place???
