Basically it would show that the Democrats were wrong to deny the right man for the job and to deny America a good UN ambassador to the job over petty politics. Making this a huge potential lose situation for the Democrats.

I did say that if Bolton really shines, the Dems will have to eat their words, but I think most Democrats will tell you that they'd be more than happy to do that since that will mean that Bolton has not done what they were worried about, and that is damage the US-UN relationship.
