So WHERE Did Bolton Come From WHY Has He Been
Nominated?
Carol Rosenberg Of The Miami Herald Reports:
"Nineteen months ago, he caused a different stir -- bursting
into a Tallahassee library on behalf of the Bush-Cheney
campaign to stop a recount of Miami-Dade County ballots
Bolton, the U.S. diplomat now responsible for arms control
issues, said no payoff was promised for his decision to join
the post-election fray. He had worked for the first Bush
administration and, finding himself in South Korea on
election night, contacted former Secretary of State James
Baker in Texas to see how he might lend a hand. The reply:
Go to Florida.
'I think, frankly, most of the people who did it just went
down there by instinct,' Bolton said. He said he received no
legal fees, although the campaign paid his hotel bills and
other expenses.
Bolton was part of the legal team and a ballot observer in
Palm Beach County. Then he rushed to Tallahassee as the
recount battle reached higher courts.
It was his role, on Saturday, Dec. 9, 2000, to burst into a
library where workers were recounting Miami-Dade ballots
and relay news of the U.S. Supreme Court's stay in the
on-again, off-again presidential recount.
'I'm with the Bush-Cheney team, and I'm here to stop the
count,' he was quoted as saying in news reports at the time."
