Stay the horse

What was that about not changing horses in the middle of a war? Wasn't continuity of leadership one of the key reasons cited by some for leaving Bush in charge? Now Tom Ridge is going, after Powell, Ashcroft, and four more cabinet level people. Ashcroft, in particular, can burn in hell as far as I care, the less prominent others may be scarcely more defensible.

But continuity we ain't got. Nothing like it. Imagine how down we must be to be excited about keeping Arlen Specter in place.

The Democratic Party needs to get its money in order and see if it can't hire Karl Rove.

From the look s of him and his background, Ridge would seem to be well-suited for Joe Paterno's job.
