Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez has resigned today. This being the second recent senior Bush Administration to submit walking papers in the past few weeks. The political wheels are finally coming off of the Bush war-wagon.

What does this indicate is happening to this Administration? Is the President finally accepting defeat? Are these resignations finally the Administrations way of saying, “Yep. We couldn’t do it ram it down everyone’s throats. We tried, we said 9-11 lot, and we showed a lot of gore on the TV, but the people still wouldn’t go for it.”

I am not sure if these resignations indicate a duck and cover strategy or if they are simply trying to put some distance between the most divisive of Bush’s cronies and the election in 2008. With Rumsfeld, Gonzalez and Rove all out of the public eye over a year before the next election, I suspect it will make people think the Republicons ain’t so bad. Especially if the cost of a gallon of gasoline starts to drop dramatically right before the next election.

I predict that gasoline will drop to about $1.45 to $1.55 per gallon right around Halloween of 2008.

Do any 8n5ers have any predictions or theories as to why Bush is throwing in the towel?
