"Democrats are hoping to persuade moderate Sen. Lincoln Chafee (news, bio, voting record), R-R.I., to oppose Bolton, which could delay or even scuttle the nomination. Republicans control the panel by 10-8, and Chafee spokesman Stephen Hourahan has said the senator is inclined to support Bolton but is undecided. The committee would need a majority vote to recommend confirmation by the full Senate."

If Chaffee votes with the Dems on this, and scuttles Bolton's nomination, the Republicans need to extract some serious payback against him.

Chafee said a couple of days ago he would vote for Bolton.
