I thought we were all buddies now?

The vote to advance Bolton's nomination to an immediate confirmation vote was 56-42 — four short of the 60 votes that Bolton's Republican backers needed.

The dramatic roll call raised questions about Bush's ability to win confirmation of some of his more ideological appointees as he begins his second term in the White House. And it was a setback for Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., who was hoping to end nearly three months of delays and investigation and finally deliver Bolton's nomination for the president.

Frist said the Bolton matter soured the air of cooperation the two parties' centrists forged just days ago after months of wrangling over judges.

"John Bolton, the very first issue we turned to, we got what looks to me like a filibuster," Frist said. "It certainly sounds like a filibuster ... it quacks like a filibuster."

Where's John McCain?
 
If he runs in 2008(McCain) Ill vote for him. I wonder why he isnt trying to make a name for himself now tho
 
This entire episode sickens me at least I didn't vote for McCain.

I swear there I am as always punchin' the card straight down the line for the Republicans but I took great care to vote against McCain.

Just as I'm already to go down to the County Recorders office and pull my voter registration and never vote again they put something
on the upcoming ballot that I just SO wanna vote yes on...
 
I voted for McCain a couple of times. Whatever happened to that guy? This impostor is scary.
 
Frist was the only Republican to vote against ending the delays, but he only did so because that gave him the procedural right to force the Senate to vote again on the issue.
