If so, the timing would be a bit odd: late in the afternoon before a three-day holiday weekend, with much of official Washington either already on vacation or about to leave to beat the rush. It would not seem to correspond with President Obama’s stated desire to have some “hoopla” about the announcement. […]

What is the specific list of complaints against him…and why does someone who is so disliked keep managing to have a say in things?

Who would ever have guessed…

What do you base that on?

Whether qualified as an Administrator or not, there needs to be one demand that the WH, if he is their selectee, makes of him that is non-negotiable. And that is, George Abbey must remain absent from the scene – totally. Not around anywhere in an advisory capacity; to any political entity; not consulted on anything. Nothing. If Bolden won’t commit to that, then there is nothing even to talk about.

It suggest the administration is going to pretty much continue as is. Whether this will give Nelson any particular influence will be interesting to see.

Its Bolden. Look past the noise.
