Well, here's what that article says: But the question here this evening was whether Ms. Chavez's decision would relieve pressure on Mr. Bush's other nominees, or only increase it. "Does our political base say `We got one!' or does it say `That was spring training, and now it's on to the real game'?" asked Rahm Emanuel, a former political operative for President Clinton who has returned to private life in Chicago, but still keeps his hand in Democratic politics. "I think they conclude this was spring training," he said. One Democratic senator agreed. "I think this puts a lot more pressure on Ashcroft," he said. "Senators who say that the president deserves a presumption to get people he wants into his administration may have voted against one" nominee for the cabinet, he said, "but not two." The logic of Chavez shooting herself in the foot leading to Ashcroft's confirmation seems weak. Ashcroft seems to have more substantial issues facing him than Chavez. Of course, I'm sure there'll be some attempt to spin Chavez in Ashcroft's favor, in fact I assume there will be numerous opinion pieces from the bloviating pundits of the right hitting that angle real quick. Cheers, Dan.
