My guess
 

I think it will be Vincent 'Vinny' Gambini.

Re: My guess
 

I think Tom Hagen has a better chance.

Gambini is known to be soft on crime, from his work in alabama.

Hagen, on the other hand, showed no death penalty squeamishness in declining to hear an appeal in the case of Corleone v Tessio ..... ("Sorry, I'm afraid I can't do that".)

Plus he yells at Senators and has enough dirt on them to get confirmed.

Not sure this is good, wouldn't we rather have a lame duck AG in there under fire from Dems?

I agree with this - as was he didn't have the time (or, self-evidently, the ability) to do anything to us with all the [censored] swirling around him.

I am even hearing that Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) is a possibility to replace him. That would be horrible for us.

Re: Gonzales, a real true-blue A--hole til the end
 

Why are we thinking a new AG will be better or worse? We know Bush has decided to fight remote gaming how he can. No one will be better or worse we can conceivably get. The only thing that will make it better would be an AG who cares about the law. Most AGs don't. The new AG will not set policy. Its the political intern class of ChristaNazis willing to put the time into prosecuting and researching remote gaming. Basically, he or she will oversee the work, and not stop it. None of our eggs were ever in the basket of Gonzales realizing he wasn't honoring the law. What we should be happy about is the loss of political capital from the DoJ. An interim AG can't do what an appointed one as easily. There isnt a firm rational for it, but there wil be internal fraturing, second-tier resignations, and chaos. They aren't going to reverse course on us of their own accord, and never were, but it may slow down the crackdown march.
