Yep, I'll miss Evans too. Ashcroft did a great job but he's never been one of my favorites.

He's not going to be nominated for that.

Don Evans had planned to leave. His wife had already moved back to Texas.

He is one of the President's best friends.

That was Nixon. He demanded the resignation of every cabinet member after he won re-election.

I think that is for an "outgoing" administration, BB. Like the Toons' cabinet members in late 2000.

My money is on M. Racicot for AG.

Ashcroft would never get through the Senate for a judge..the media would make the C.Thomas hearings look like Sponge Bob reruns.

Glad to see Ashcroft go. He was a good senator but a bad AG who was the leader in pushing for statist measures he actually fought as senator.

I want to see a nice pro-2a AG.

I'd love to John Ashcroft on the Supreme Court. He is a very good legal mind.

He was my governor for 8 years.

I think it is, but I'll bet Ashcroft means it. The left has made him such a villian.

I don't see how he needs the pressure anymore.

I hate to see him go, but he has taken so much from the left. Hopefully he will get his life back. Thanks so much for your service sir, and God Bless You.
