While I agree that the press has gone out of its way to go after him, my complaint about his appointment as Att. General is this: The position requires a person to look at the [i]facts[/i] and the [i]law[/i] without bringing in religious and racial biases. I'm not calling him a right-wing freak or a bigot, and I know that a person's convictions almost always play a part in any decision they make. But his views are too much to the right for this [i]particular[/i] position, IMHO. I would also be against the Democrats appointing someone like, say, Jesse Jackson for the same reasons—he's too far left.

I still don't think that he'll lose the nomination, however. Unless his breaking of the law during his campaign does him in (he used staffers paid by the state to help run his campaign, and that's a no-no).

I'm interested to see where this goes.
