>>BARRY SCHWEID Associated Press WASHINGTON - Republican Sen. George Voinovich of Ohio agreed on Thursday to let the contentious nomination of John Bolton as United Nations ambassador go to the full Senate for a vote. But he issued a scathing attack on Bolton. Voinovich portrayed Bolton, now the top arms-control diplomat at the State Department, as "arrogant" and "bullying." "John Bolton is the poster child of what someone in the diplomatic corps should not be," Voinovich said. He said Bolton would be fired if he was in private business. "That being said, Mr. Chairman, I am not so arrogant to think that I should impose my judgment and perspective of the U.S. position in the world community on the rest of my colleagues," he added. "We owe it to the president to give Mr. Bolton an up or down vote on the floor."<< Presumably, that means Voinovich will vote against Bolton in the full Senate. Snowe? Chafee? Hmmm..
