Next Up [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
As much as my gut feeling makes me ill, that Chertoff rumor from the weekend makes a lot of sense. No surprises, no huge learning curve.
As a D.C. politico just said to me :"No one else would want to get on a sinking ship – so have to get someone already on. And he’s respected and will be a much better fit there. Then they would promote the number 2 guy at Homeland — he’s a big White House favorite."
Another possibility? Fran Townsend. Already in the adminstration. Already has the president's ear and trust.
I bet it's someone already in the administration and this happens quickly. And really, when you think of all the DOJ has under its purview, that's probably not a terrible thing. (I didn't say a good thing, though.)
