The White House isn’t backing down on efforts to get John Bolton approved as the next US Ambassador to the United Nations. White House spokesman Scott McClellan accused Democrats today of fabricating charges and making unfound allegations against the embattled nominee.

Those comments come a day after a scheduled vote on Bolton was delayed by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at a bitterly contentious meeting. At that meeting, Senator George V. Voinovich (R-Ohio) said he would not vote to confirm Bolton, based on evidence laid out by angry Democrats that Bolton had bullied and intimidated intelligence analysts and subordinates.

Gail Chaddock, Congressional reporter for The Christian Science Monitor examines the “day-after” impact and whether or not this nomination is dead in the water.
