Jim Leach Could be "Confirmed Unanimously" by the Senate

Here are copies of two letters that Congressmen Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Jim Walsh (R-NY) have distributed today to Members of Congress calling for the President to nominate Congressman Jim Leach as US Ambassador to the United Nations "in the event that Ambassador Bolton's term is not extended."

Here is the "Dear Colleague".

Here is the letter that they are asking Members to co-sign.

So far, after a jog along the mall today, Congressman Blumenauer ran into both Representatives Chris Shays (R-CT) and Jim Marshall (D-GA) who agreed on the spot to be the first co-signatories after Blumenauer and Walsh.

It's a good start.

Could this be a conspiracy? :S

Somehow I doubt that Bush will accept any nomination that originates outside the White House walls. The real trick would've been planting a seed such that the WH thought it was their own idea.
