She'd pick up anywhere from a few Dems to most of them, depending on how the WH handled it. What is more objectionable about her than any of the other potential candidates?

I don't know who will go, but the whole communications department should be taken out back and shot..

From today's Washington Post:
  • Although Bush plans no administration-wide housecleaning, not everyone who wants to stay will be able to. Treasury Secretary John W. Snow was subtly given the idea that he would not be staying for all four years but could take all the time he wanted to leave, administration officials said. Snow may help kick off Bush's proposal to overhaul the tax code and then return home to Richmond, officials said.

    Attorney General John D. Ashcroft is also expected to leave. So are Secretary of State Colin L. Powell and Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge.

The better question is why replace him with Condi?

An even better question than that is, if Powell is out, why replace him with Condi? And I think the answer is that Cheney and Rumsfeld have already decided that they can roll her, and so she won't get in their way at State. (Same would be true of Danforth, I think.)

On the plus side, the new acronym causes a hell of lot of confusion and makes the Department of Health and Human Services appear to be run by retards.

I really don't see what them not discussing the Old Testament has to do with anything.

Nobody even guessed Evans.
 
"Attorney General John Ashcroft and Commerce Secretary Don Evans have resigned, the White House said. Details soon." From CNN.

Maybe Bush wants to put John Ashcroft up for a Supreme Court vacancy.

Ashcroft is ill and wants to get out of government.

Who's next? Ridge or Powell?

do you have any comment that might make sense of Ashcroft's statement that "The objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has been achieved"? Was this Bush's reelection? Or does he really think that all crime is erased and no terror threat exists anymore?

Probably the quote is out of context. I hope so.

"Ill." Thats like "man getting hit with football." It works on so many levels.

The quote appears in other sources. Maybe "ill" means "So fucked in the head that he thinks crime and terrorism have been defeated on his watch."

So my bet is that there is a couple of days of "Boy are we glad he's gone" quotes from Dems in the paper, and then they take Powell to the woodshed Friday afternoon.

I'm a Texas Democrat. Our motto is "well, it could be worse." I wanna see who Ashcroft is replaced by before jumping for joy.
