Dad <em>knew</em> his people were not only loyal but also knew they understood and could quickly implement his management practices/style;they could quickly enhance his overall ability to succeed. Why would he keep the old staff and start from square one with unknowns whose loyalty and whose qualifications were unquantifiable? That's just plain stupid. It's all about <strong>executive skills</strong>...not about pleasing the old order. Dad knew how to make crucial managerial decisions. Bush,however, made the mistake, because he wanted to placate the Dems, of keeping them on in positions of prominence..."a uniter, not a divider"...which proved to be a huge management error that eventually bit him bigtime in the backside. (When Bush <strong>finally</strong> fired all those attorneys that he should have fired immediately, he endured an avalanche of feigned fury.)

The MSM doesn't want to provoke any substantive reaction by the McCain camp because the situation appears to have a pretty straight-forward resolution, with even the main subject of the investigation on record denying that anyone pressured him to do anything. The Dems don't need actual proof of a scandal; they just need to tag her with the <em>appearance</em> of scandal right before the election. Why else would the Obamabots who are involved demand an October 31st "report"? I'm really hoping that Palin gets out in front of this and doesn't fall back on the "truth will out" strategy that Bush used in the face of the "Bush lied, people died!" meme. That didn't work out especially well. I’ll bet the Troopergate issue got scant mention because it is what the Dems are hoping to use for their October surprise.
