"Republican officials operating at the behest of the White House have begun seeking a possible successor to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, whose support among GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill has collapsed, according to party sources familiar with the discussions.
Among the names floated Monday by administration officials are Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and White House anti-terrorism coordinator Frances Townsend. Former Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson is a White House prospect. So is former solicitor general Theodore B. Olson, but sources were unsure whether he would want the job.
Republican sources also disclosed that it is now a virtual certainty that Deputy Attorney General Paul J. McNulty, whose incomplete and inaccurate congressional testimony about the prosecutors helped precipitate the crisis, will also resign shortly. "

More then likely, I think his days are numbered, stick a fork in him he is done. However there are bigger fish in the pond and I think they need to go after Karl Rove and Dead Eye Dick Cheney and before it is over I think they will. Gonzales is just going to be the fall guy like Libby was.

Wow
Is it incompetence or just complete dedication to party line...what's funny is that his acts of party loyalty (and others as well in other areas) will very possibly damage the ones he is dedicated to...wow, Karma strikes again.
Answer by childrenofthecorn
Gonzales should change his name to Goner because that's what he is.
Read between the lines: Bush's support is gone. They're now scripting what each of them will say when he resigns.
Damage control is in full swing, my friend.
