It was a lengthy explanation of all the objectives he wishes to take care of and accomplish and not a set of excuses. I will admit, though, that the decision was rather sudden. I think he's being straight with those who elected him to begin with and that's what's most important.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120674466504955780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-89651119206333602702010-01-07T12:42:36.350-07:002010-01-07T12:42:36.350-07:00the post that he links to at Red State has some fa...the post that he links to at Red State has some factual errors<br /><br />1. She'a not his Chief of Staff<br />2. He didn't nominate her to anything, the President did<br />3. Her involvement in the Voorhies matter has been well known since 2006, it just came under heightened scrutiny because of her nomination. This was all antiticipated by oversvers (including me)<br /><br />I don't think any of those errors fatally wound the speculation* but they are material errors. <br /><br />*I actually think the point about the Voorhies matter points towards something else as prompting her withdrawal.Steve Balbonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05238259030777462457noreply@blogger.com
