re: Like I said, the fight has just begun. Getting rid of Rumsfeld is as far as Bush is willing to go. Bush's rep is on the line.......he's hoping to salvage his name for posterity. It won't happen but he still thinks he can.

Interesting discussion on MSNBC after the press conference. They say Bush is bringing in people from his Daddy's days in the WH. That the Cheney cabal has lost all it's power... that he has finally admitted that he is in over his head and looking to get bailed out.


It would not surprise me but only to a degree. Its still Bush. I think it depends on how insulated they kept him in the WH. Its very possible his advisors were feeding him the same crap that we were being fed.........its just a few vocal liberals, the MSM is the problem, really....things are better in Iraq, bla bla bla. They can't say that now. There are a number of red districts that went blue last nite. The message is clear........we don't like what you're doing. At the same time, neocons don't like to compromise........its a sign of weakness to them. So the next few weeks will be the tell.

Meanwhile, the Dow and the Nazdaq just went green. ;-)

Gates has my vote. He has done good things at my university. He never solved the parking problem though. I do hold that against him.

So who is next? If Baker replaces Condi, then that means Cheney will be having an exit interview not too long afterwards.

That's just the thought that occurred to me watching his press conference. He looked like a man underwater. He HONESTLY believed, until last night, that he'd STILL have the House and the Senate today. Did that give him ANY clue that just MAYBE his information sources have in in an isolated bubble?

It doesn't seem so. I'm not sure Poppy CAN bail him out this time.
