WASHINGTON - In a last-ditch effort, two Democratic senators, Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut, and Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, worked Thursday to round up the 41 votes needed to stop the nomination of John Bolton to be U.S. envoy to the United Nations.

...Dodd and Biden face an uphill battle to block the vote on Bolton. They need 41 senators to beat the cloture motion that would end debate and thus prevent a vote on the nomination. With all 55 Republicans likely to vote for cloture, Biden and Dodd must find support among their own party.

Democrats Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California and Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska each said in interviews late Wednesday they would vote with the Republicans to end debate.
