Oh, I know...the Gonzalez trial is so two weeks ago but lookie here:
So who put the names on the list?
"Alberto Gonzales may claim that he doesn't know, but the Washington Post is getting ever closer to an answer: As the paper reports this morning, five of the 12 U.S. attorneys who were fired or targeted for firing last year were the subjects of complaints by GOP officials who charged that the prosecutors were insufficiently aggressive in prosecuting voter-fraud cases against Democrats.
Anyone in particular?
Why, yes. The Post says that testimony and documents show that Karl Rove, "in particular," was "preoccupied with pressing Gonzales and his aides about alleged voting problems in a handful of battleground states" in the run-up to last year's midterm elections."

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
