Many news outlets are desperate to find contention over the nomination of Paul Wolfowitz to head the World Bank. But does the evidence add up?

A source close to the discussion tells me that Wolfowitz is actively gathering support and picking up steam.

And then there are the words of Democratic senators. Joe Biden described Wolfowitz as possessing an:

“active and fertile mind” who believes in the work of multilateral institutions.’ Asked for his reaction to the selection, Biden responded, "Solid."

Wolfowitz can also count on the support of Pat Leahy. Leahy said of Wolfowitz:

“I have known Paul Wolfowitz for many years, and while he and I have had strong differences I know him to be an extremely intelligent and creative thinker who has the potential to do a good job at the World Bank.” Leahy added, “The World Bank is in need of serious management and policy reforms. I look forward to working with him.”
