The Dems are betting that won't happen, that is why they're pulling this stunt. All a charade to hopefully have Bush back away from Bolton and nominate someone else.
Funny thing is this could have all been avoided and Bolton put to vote, if the G.O.P. had a real senate majority leader.
There seems to be this impression that Frist can use his medical skills to hypnotize the opposition to round up votes he otherwise doesn't have. Odd.
