Chafee Pulls a Fast One on Bolton Nomination
There are some very good comments posted at Anchor Rising re: the Laffey v. Chafee race indicating that clearly, it must be Chafee's intention to axe the Bolton nomination. National news item: Chafee stalls the Bolton vote. Why? He intends to vote no, but doesn't want to do so before the primary. Win or lose, he's apt to vote no just the same.
