I think the dems should (they won't) try to heal divisions because if they continue tacking left, they will have another 2002 in 2006 and another 2004 in 2008. Even James Carville and Clinton said that. Of course, they both want Hillary in 2008, so she will be moving right for the next four.
I think Bush is rewarding a friend. He has always been known to be loyal to a fault and he probably thinks this is a temporary position (4 years) not lifetime, to use to pay Gonazalez back for his loyalty to Bush. After all, Gonazalez could have gone into private practice and made a whole lot more $$$$$$$$$$.
How about loyalty to those of us who voted for him and volunteered for him?
