Bolton Nomination Dead?

As Shamanic mentioned below, the Not Ready for Bipartisanship Players are trying to ramrod through Bolton’s nomination while they still hold onto a slim majority. But Constant Comment just passed on this tidbit:

Another highly placed source has informed me that in just a few minutes Senator Lincoln Chafee is calling a press conference to state categorically that he will not support John Bolton's confirmation in the upcoming lame duck session.

The Bolton confirmation will be officially dead in a few minutes.
If this is true, I could absolutely kiss Lincoln Chafee for doing it, particularly since he just got beat by a Democrat and will soon be leaving the Senate. He should have switched parties last year.
