3. Rummy being forced out guarantees Bush will lose

For the greater good, Rummy must go.

6. That would NEVER happen. If Rummy goes, his replacement

would have to go through the confirmation process and Wolfie would never get confirmed. Not in a millions years.

8. Yes but this is an election year. I know that is a sorry excuse for

the hammer starting to come down but it's better than nothing.

13. Recess appointment

All * would have to do is wait for the congressional summer recess and appoint Wolfie. That way, he wouldn't have to deal with the conformation process until after the election.

19. I think your right but...

judges never have the title of "Acting" like "Acting Secretary of Defense", so you are correct. However, if Donnie Boy resigns after congress recesses, then Wolfie could be the "Acting" SoD until congress returns. Then they'll hold his confirmation hearings in committee until after the election, and thus, it will essentially be the same concept.

2. This one's hard to parse.

The damage to Bush's anti-flip-flopping image - Relative to the benefit of looking like he's doing something about problems, but I'm going to go with a NO, because I think this looks best for Kerry by comparison.
