Schumer Says Bolton's In

From The New York Post:
July 31, 2006 -- Sen. Charles Schumer yesterday signaled that John Bolton will finally get Senate confirmation as U.N. ambassador, saying it's "unlikely" Democrats will mount a filibuster to block him a second time.
The Post reported last week that Schumer and fellow New York Democrat Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who both voted for the anti-Bolton filibuster last year, hadn't ruled out voting for his confirmation this time.

"I think that if you count the votes, a filibuster is unlikely," Schumer told CNN's "Late Edition" yesterday.
