SHUFFLING THE DECK CHAIRS
So, White House chief of staff Andy Card is out and longtime Bush adviser/budget director Josh Bolten takes his place.
I think John Hinderaker’s reaction is just right:
Joe Sixpack has a different view.
Joe Gandelman has mega-round-up and analysis.
H-Bomb at ABP opines on why Card is really leaving:
My sources tell me that White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card’s resignation has almost nothing to do with a “staff shakeup,” as the AP has reported.
The “staff shakeup” meme plays into the MSM’s obsession with the president’s “slumping poll numbers” — which they all too gaily report — but does not really add up. Card served as a traditional CoS; an administrator, not a policy or political guy, and for all the shortcomings of this White House, staff administration has never really been one of them.
Rather, I have been told by Washington insiders that Card is leaving to play a significant role in the presidential campaign of Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. This announcement will not be made for several months; perhaps not until after the 2006 election, but many of Card’s associates have already been working for Romney behind the scenes.
