Bolton to get a floor vote?
By: Mark Kilmer RED STATE

From a Move America Forward statement:

The organization strongly backing the nomination of John Bolton to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Move America Forward (website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org), has indefinitely suspended its radio ad campaign that had targeted Senator George Voinovich (R-Ohio). The final ads will be broadcast today – Monday, April 25, 2005.

“We’ve received reassurances from very reliable sources that Senator Voinovich has obtained a new and fair outlook on the Bolton nomination. At this point in time we believe John Bolton’s nomination will progress from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Mr. Bolton will be able to receive an up or down vote from the full U.S. Senate – which is the way it should be,” said Howard Kaloogian, Co-Chairman of Move America Forward. [Emphasis mine.]

The organization says that they "are not at liberty to disclose who they've heard from and specifically what was said - under promise of confidentiality," but it convinced someone.

They do not say whether or not they've been assured that Voinovich will vote for the nominee on the Senate floor, but a "new a fair outlook," to MAF, would indicate as much.
