I was well aware that Tony has been mentioned as a front-runner for the job, but this is the first news I've seen of an actual *offer*. I'm sure someone will let me know if I missed something...

I know it would be tough but he would do an outstanding job and it would only be for a couple years.

In case anyone's reading the full story at time.com and looking for the part about Tony, it's on the last page (page four).

It aint gonna happen! Snow would be a fool financially to take the job!

Tony, we are really behind you on this. If you take it, will you have Helen Thomas removed, please?

If Tony Snow takes the job he will instantly become the most famous person from our high school in Sharonville, Ohio - Princeton High School Vikings, 17 miles N. of downtown Cincinnati on I-75. Tony is from the class of '75.

Also note this from the article:
Snow had his colon removed after he was found to have cancer last year, but his doctors have approved the possibility of his taking the grueling post.

Tony Snow has stated he would need to consider his family, health, etc., which sounds like it has been offered.
If we assume he wants the job, he would still need to not seem too eager. This accomplished, I'll bet it is announced tomorrow morning.

I will miss him on Fox News Radio on XM if he decides to take the job. Tony is someone I have come to respect over the years, mainly because he is not the type to jump on the bandwagon (Like Sean Hannity)
Tony Snow actually researches the facts and presents them in a non-hyperpolitical light, despite the criticism he gets from the far right.
But if Tony accepts the job, I hope he confronts the "loons" (from both sides), as he does on his show everyday.
My advice to Tony is..... PASS, let Dan Sienor take the job, you serve this nation much better from behind the microphone owned by Fox News :-)

Don't believe he is a globalist neo-con either. Just a conservative.

It's a wonderful opportunity Tony - and I am still praying for you here. I pray that you will follow the path that God leads you to walk.
Whatever your choice, God goes with you! Be bold - and mighty forces will come to your aid...
To: Bommer
Its a 2.5 year stint at most, not to mention the chance of a lifetime.

Snow will take the job. He's a patriot and he knows he can only improve White House communications, which have been abyssmally poor for 6 years.
