Guiliani for AG?

It's such no-brainer and perfect fit that I imagine it won't happen.

Update: It also occurs to me that Bush is quite determined to, if not necessarily make Jeb Bush his presidential heir, then at least to make sure he's not created any hurdles for Jeb Bush's inevitable run for the Presidency.

And installing Rudy Guiliani as AG would, of course, make him even more prominent than he is at the moment.

I don't like this aspect of Bush's; I undertand familial loyalty and all, but at some point you have to put your top men in your top jobs. Yes, I guess he did install Tom Ridge in a high-profile position, but then, Tom Ridge is pro-choice, and not reall a threat to grab the top slot in the 2008 slate.

And, yes, Rudy is pro-choice too; but I think he actually has the standing to actually have a chance of winning the nomination despite this. He would have to tack his position back quite a bit, and it wouldn't be easy, but I think Guiliani actually does have a small but real chance of being a moderately pro-choice Republican candidate for President. I don't think Ridge does.
