Here Are All the Rumored Potential Replacements for Eric Holder

[Algernon Moncrieff]

15. Donald Verrilli Jr.is the name I've heard

I think, mostly, because he's already inside the administration, and would not invite a huge congressional fight.

The I-think-not group from the list:

Janet Napolitano: She basically just started at UC, and her confirmation will turn into a critique of her tenure at DHS.
Kamala Harris: I think the GOP will go after her hard over whatever excuse they can dream up. Not so much because they object to her for AG, but because they want to start planting seeds against her run for CA Governor.
Sheldon Whitehouse I'm against replacing Senators or Congrss Critters unless we're 100% certain they'll be replaced by someone of equal or greater quality.
Preet Bharara: I don't think we're fighting Wall Street just now. Maybe later.


...maybe

Jenny Durkan i could see this. It would presumably bolster the marriage equality argument, and by approving her quickly, the GOP could claim that they are not hostile towards gays.

Jennifer Granholm It gets her back in the policics game.

Tony West like you said...Hell of a family!
