I agree with you about Racicot but there's something fishy about him. I don't remember all of the points but as I recall he turned W down for a pretty big appointment after the 2000 democratic voter fraud issue in Florida. At that time he claimed he wanted to spend more time with his family. I don't know why he is reluctant but whenever the light shines on him he seems to back away.
Racicot may be in the Bush Administration in the next term.
