Dems to delay Rice nomination to State
Condi Rice may have passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee with a 16-2 vote but that doesn't assure her of easy confirmation in the entire body. As the AP reports, it appears that her nomination might be bogged down very soon.
Senate Democrats intend to delay Condoleezza Rice's confirmation as secretary of state at least until next week rather than grant her Inauguration Day approval, a spokesman said Wednesday.This might merely be a symbolic act, but the times might be calling for such an act.
"There are a number of Democrats not on the committee that want to have a chance to debate her nomination a couple of hours," said Manley, a spokesman for Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.
