Scooter Libby was involved. As was Karl Rove. The President was asked as to whether or not he would fire anyone that was involved and he said yes. Those involved have yet to be fired. Why has the President not fired anyone involved?
I'd be worried about a Dick Cheney resignation. That would put another person in VP slot that may be turned into the Republican frontrunner for the presidency. I'd be especially worried if it were someone that could draw Democrats in a general election. Unless Cheney does get indicted and subsequently resigns, I don't think we have to worry about resignations of the cabinet or the Vice President.
What I do not want to see come out of this are presidential pardons. We have a mess here in Kentucky which we have had for quite a while. Governor Fletcher was wrong to pardon those that he subsequently fired. He should have fired them to begin with.
In other news this evening, it appears that Kenton County Democratic Chairman Kathy Groob is not in the running for Vice-Chair. She's a great leader in Northern Kentucky and would have made a great State Senator had she won the campaign against Jack Westwood last year.
In Texas news, Nick Lampson is running against Tom Delay. Contribute to Lampson's campaign as he'll need as much help as he possibly can get. View his campaign site here.
Tom Gogola supports a John Edwards/Evan Bayh ticket in 2008.
Speaking of Evan Bayh, how does he feel about Harriet Miers' nomination being withdrawn?
Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) is hoping that the president will resist the pressure to nominate an ideologue to appease those who were so dissatisfied with the Miers nomination. He is talking about people like Curt Smith.[...]I know there is a Draft Prado movement out there.
Bayh, meantime, has already recommended another Hoosier to the White House: Indiana Chief Justice Randall Shepherd. In a statement, Bayh said that a consensus choice from the mainstream will unite the country.
