It is really freezing a governor's administration. It's very damaging. These scandals always are.

This is a case where the Bush administration doesn't need to spell out what they did and why they did it. It's as plain as a wart on the nose of a Miss America. Any attempt by Bush's spokespeople to present this as anything other than an admission of error will be laughed out of the public square.

...Remember, the most damaging evidence about Mr. Bolton came from 15 members of the Bush administration. You've got 102 former ambassadors, many of them Republicans, coming out of the Reagan and Bush years, that urged us not to confirm Mr. Bolton. This chief of staff of Colin Powell said he'd make a horrible ambassador for the United States.

Rendell is not just another governor. He's already been a national figure. He has been (Democratic National Committee) chairman, and he knows the movers and shakers and donors in all 50 states.

She has been in six months, and she has already had more controversies than the average congressperson does in a career. You never bet against an incumbent. But I tell you, in her case I wouldn't bet more than a nickel on her.

He is obviously a single-issue candidate, and they do not do terribly well in the presidential process.
