Sen. John Danforth for Attorney General?
Jack Danforth for Attorney General
This blog post at “The Hill” makes a persuasive case for nominating Centrist Republican Former Senator John Danforth to replace Mr. Gonzales. I am in favor of almost any effort to bring the political center of gravity back towards the middle.

It won’t happen under this President. You can take that to the bank. Bush is an idealogue, not a pragmatist.
Problem is, I’m not sure Bush has any plans to bring the ideological center back in this country. That’s just what has been so disturbing about this whole mess. It appears to be some kind of scheme to replace nonpartisan prosecutors who have superlative credentials with political toadies whose main qualification might be that they agree with the president about Roe v Wade. Loyalists are moved through the system to get them into positions where they will qualify for federal judgeships.
I also fear it won’t happen. But what a great choice this would be for AG. Danforth is one of the best, regardless of party.
