Expect a press conf with a smiling Bush saying "Its a new day," and patting Gonzales on the back.

Interesting take, but doesn't it go the other way? If Rove/Libby is indicted, Bush's "political capital" is further diminished. Gonzalez apparently is palatable to the Senate, and so would be more confirmable (and he had nothing to do with the leak). If no indictment, the cloud is lifted and Bush may have renewed energy to fight for someone like Owen or Clement, or one of Penske's wackos.
