71. Crazy idea on why Voinovich jumped ship...
Anybody else think maybe V did this to bail out Chafee on an extremely unpopular vote? V just won reelection, right? He can take a little asswhuppin from the WH...Chafee can't afford to get the WH looking for a (PA 04 vs Specter) Toomey-like primary opponent, but also can't afford to look like WH lackey voting for such an asinine nominee. V steps in, takes the hit, maybe WH feels too much heat on this and pulls Bolton nomination in the meantime, Chafee off the hook.
Just thinkin maybe a little backscratching going on?
