11/10/08: President-elect McCain Names Miguel Estrada Attorney General

11/10/08 AP: President-elect John McCain has named Miguel Estrada as Attorney General in his new Administration. Ann Coulter and President Bush have hailed the nomination as "sensitive, history-making, a stroke of genius". Vicepresident-elect Thune will introduce Mr. Estrada in Congress for a Senate vote when McCain takes over as the 44th President of the nation on January 20th, 2009.
Estrada becomes the fourth member of McCain's Cabinet: Newt Gingrich was named to head the Department of Education; Rudy Giuliani has been tapped to head Homeland Security; Senator Joe Lieberman has been designated as Secretary of Defense and Phil Gramm has been nominated as Secretary of State. McCain won the Presidency last week by defeating Senator Barack Obama and Sam Nunn with 284 electoral votes after Ohio and Texas cast their votes for the maverick Republican in a close vote. Senator Obama was perceived during the spring as a strong candidate for the Democrats but the bloody battle with New York Senator Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primaries caused irreparable rift in the party. Senator Obama lost the support of white women who deserted the Democratic party in droves and voted for Mccain. McCain also carried the Catholic vote and the white men after Clinton demonized Obama as a Muslin and inexperienced to be Commander in Chief. By the time the Nationa Democratic Convention was held in Denver, the eventual Democratic nominee had been torn to pieces by the New Yorker which caused a brokered convention and the alienation of the Caucasian and Latino vote that provided McCain with a comfortable victory on election night. The Democrats were heavily favored to win the White House this year but again fell short to the savage Republican machine, this time aided in part by the Clinton machine.

Clearly Phil Gramm will be Treasury Secretary...
