Politics: rearranging the cabinet

Here's an FAQ-like AFP article summarizing possible changes in the administration. Among the most notable:

Colin Powell will likely be hitting the road, which seems to me a problem. Powell is still popular on all sides (except in the White House), and there's really no one to replace his star power.

Rumsfeld is expected to leave. Conventional wisdom says it would be impossible for Bush to find a bigger bumbler to fill the position, so nowhere to go but up.

Condi to Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense, or maybe even back to Stanford? I don't love Condi or anything, but at least with her around, I know there's someone who can complete her sentences and, ya know, run a major research university.

John Snow is expected to remain, ensuring that there will be no money in the treasury for generations to come.

As far as Attorney General, Tom Ridge has been mentioned, but from what I've read, Ridge would like to get out of Dodge and go home. The article also suggests Marc Racicot (who is this guy?), Giuliani, and Mitt Romney. Rudy and Romney each seem like impossibilities, since each has presidential aspirations for '08. And the Attorney General job is probably the worst place to be, because no matter what you do, you're going to be pissing somebody off very badly.

But as Courtney heard on NPR today, no politician has been so good at bringing the left and right together as John Ashcroft. Problem is, the left and the right both want the jerk to go home.
