Confirmation hopes dim for Bolton at UN | csmonitor.com

Read the full article in the Christian Science Monitor:

John "Bolton, who has been serving without Senate confirmation since August 2005 under a presidential recess appointment, had appeared to be cruising toward a Senate vote last month. But then a surprise flat note from the Republican side of the aisle threw things off. With Congress now in recess for midterm elections, Bolton is in political limbo again - with even some Republican supporters saying his job in New York is doomed.

'The skies aren't looking too favorable for Bolton,' says one US official who did not want to be named because the official was less than upbeat about confirmation. 'If he wants to plan anything, it might be a move back to Washington.'"
