How can two Senators block this ?.....I wonder if the Dems want it delayed to set themselves up better for a fall race against Scozzafava. In any event this is all very interesting.....Also those McGrath ads are becoming more pervasive...He must be the Matt Doheny of the Democratic field...Early money is a good thing.
The Press Republican - Article: McHugh confirmation delayed

Delay doesn't favor anyone ... not one bit; not even Ms. Dede.
McGrath is everywhere on the internet - including the radio:

Senate rules dictate that any Senator can block such appointments without even divulging a reason. In this case the two KA Senators who exercised that right were Republicans and went public with their reason.
The reason being to force the President to change his mind about sending Gitmo detainees to Fort Leavenworth, KA.
This was not an intentional delay by Democrats.
