There is no way he would have been confirmed by the Senate.
Remember, John Bolton was appointed to the U.N. as a recess appointment, which means the President waited until Congress adjourned before he placed him. Well, that's only temporary, and eventually he'd need to be confirmed.
Unfortunately for Bolton & the President, way too many people thought Bolton was the wrong person for the job (Democrats & Republicans alike) and they figured that he would not have any chance to be confirmed. Thus, Bolton was most likely asked to submit a resignation (since it's not his job to track how the Senate would vote) stating that he would resign at the end of the U.N.'s next session, which I believe is sometime early next year.

From November 6th "John Bolton's troubled nomination as US ambassador to the United Nations is "going nowhere", a key Democratic senator said today after the party scored big in mid-term elections"
Basically: Dems wouldn't endorse him so he had to go.

a) He is not a diplomat.
b) He is rude and vulgar to everyone.
c) No one at the UN likes him.
d) The British refuse to walk to him.
e) He gives USA a bad name in the world.
I could go on to the end of the alphabet, but by now I'm certain you know the real reasons for his resignation. All of the above plus his government, the Bush administration, no longer have control of the House of Reps or Senate.
Democracy rules - okay!

The reason is the greatest similarity with Saddam Hussein. Gene & DNA experts have recently proved that Saddam and John were twin brothers at birth.

The departure of the 58-year-old Mr. Bolton, a no-nonsense conservative who was accused by his critics of acting like a bully to get his way, was announced only four weeks after the exit of another controversial figure, former defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Both are victims of the declining fortunes of the Bush presidency, highlighted by the Nov. 7 Republican election losses in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

His was a stopgap appointment. He knows his appointment will not be approved by the Senate where the Republicans have lost their majority. He took the best route to save his face.

He never would have been confirmed after his recess appointment expired. Game Over.

The surrender now liberals were elected.
Since he isn't willing to surrender, or negotiate with people who have no intention of keeping any agreement they make anyway, he decided to not fight to stay.
It's a loss for the US and a win for the enemies of freedom.
