White House Shuffles To Survive In Move 'Em Out Move 'Em In Shakeup... In some ways, the changes in the Bush administration resemble an old, time cattle drive: move 'em in, move 'em out. ...

McClellan had no credibility left. Snow would come in with none, so that won't happen. Instead, someone who can appear professional but whom the public won't know will be chosen. That way it will take a few weeks before, again, they have no credibility as they continue to spin the Bushco lies.

The Rove change means nothing. Just a scintilla of cover or distance for when Fitzgerald drops the other shoe.

I dunno, we look back on WWII, where we lost more people in the first hour of D-Day than the entirety of the Iraq War, as "The Good War."

Interesting that "The Decider" thinks he will be looking back on an era that includes thousands of dead GI's as "the good old days".

I think replacing McClellan is long overdue. He is one of the primary spokesman for the admin and he wasnâ��t effective or persuasive. When you constantly hear that the admin isnâ��t getting their message out then heâ��s not doing his job. To me he always seemed like the interim guy filling in and taking a beating until they got a real replacement.

Don't get me wrong, McClellan is a scoundrel and a prevaricator--anyone with a shred of self-respect would have been out of there years ago. But, to be honest, Bush and Cheney haven't given him much to work with. It is hard to get your "message out" when the policies are disastrous, contradictory, and ineffectual.

I'm not sure Rove's policy input has been exactly sparkling.

Replacing Scotty doesn't really mean squat. I suspect the only reason it didn't happen long ago is the difficulty in finding someone willing to take that kind of abuse... As for Karl, it's a big question mark - does this mean he's on the outs with Bush, or does it mean he's expecting enough trouble in the mid-term elections that he needs to devote more thought to strategy?

a few months will many American in increasingly growing numbers still be beefing about this administration? HERE'S A CROSS SECTION OF WEB OPINION ON THIS ISSUE: --Classic Love Song:"I guess he wanted to spend more time lying to his family." --James Joyner:"The Rove move will get the most attention, given his perceived status as the president’s number one advisor. How much different it will make on a substantive level remains to be seen. Replacing McClellan will probably not make that much difference,
