Ladies and Gentlemen, place your bets!

[Plaid Adder]

When will Alberto Gonzales announce to the public that he has been suddenly overwhelmed by a need to spend more time with his family?

Put your chips down in this thread: Date, time, and any details you care to predict about how the announcement will be handled. Most accurate bet gets the Plaidder Medal of Freedom. Being entirely virtual, it's just as meaningful and valuable as the Presidential one!

I'm voting for next Friday, late afternoon. It'll be their next opportunity for a news dump, and the way things are going, by then someone will have published emails between Rove and Gonzales with headers like "TOP SECRET EVIL PLAN TO STAY IN POWER FOREVER BY RIGGING THE AMERICAN JUSTICE SYSTEM." Cause that's just the kind of March these guys are having.

Place your bets,

The Plaid Adder

13. What cr@ppy choices they're looking at.

:evilgrin:

[malaise]

18. Convergence of several

clusterfucks. That's why winning in November was so important.

[EFerrari]

19. Conversely, this is why we will win in November If we maintain

the election fraud watches as we did in 2006.

It made a difference to have rapid response teams all over the place.

Because in 2008 as in 2004, they'll HAVE to steal it because they can't win it if you guys put up at two legged candidate. :)

7. Saturday morning.

From Bafy's bar and grill downing some green beer.

9. Thing about Friday is that then it becomes the topic for the weekend.

Hmmm. I'm going with Thursday morning with some nice distraction popping up Thursday afternoon.

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Frday late in the day

any will do, but soon

[MADem]

11. A week from this Friday, at 2:33 PM. The 23rd of March.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

12. Originally I thought Friday April 6th

I'm not sure they'll be able to hold off that long still, but it's the best weekend for that news to get lost so I'll stick with my original guess.

[cali]

14. Next Tuesday, before 10 a.m.

I'm wagering it will be before the 22nd which is when the Senate JC is scheduled to vote on subpoening Rove, but hell, after Tony Snowjob's luke warm response in the WHB to a question about plans to fire Gonzo, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened this afternoon. Gonzo in a Goner.

[catmandu57]

15. I'm thinking next Friday as well

he has a cover your ass insurance policy dumbya has to find someone, some toady to get through confirmation. i don't know if that can be done, but, the pressure is going to be so great by then he won't have a choice.

[TwilightGardener]

17. Monday morning at 10:00 am. Try to limit it to a full one-day news cycle,

make it on a Monday when people are hard at work, and keep it as far away from the Sunday talk shows as possible.
