I guess I'm about the only one who doesn't think the Harvey Pitt is going to be shown the door anytime soon. As far as I can remember, the only time the Bush administration has obviously backed down from anything or anyone was over the Linda Chavez nomination. Sure, they've backed down plenty of times on things, but always with a Fleischeresque swirl like "a changed regime is regime change" so as not to appear that they've backed down. There's no way to throw Harvey to the wolves without admitting error, and I just don't see it happening.
