Agreed. The WH needs to announce Ted as their choice and then go on a media selling program that lays out his qualifications and the fact that he lost his wife in the 9/11 attacks. The work he has done as Solicitor General. He may still not get Dem's approval but a proactive PR campaign in his favor would make the Dem's look even worse. But of course this WH has no clue how to use the press.

Yeah, incredible isn’t it?...after getting absolutely tortured for 8 years by that son of a dog Clinton you would think that from Day One back in power the Reps would have been chomping at the bit...Instead we get: ‘Good morning ladies and gentlemen of the Texas House...oops...i mean, of the press.....say- is that a seersucker suit...man, does this room ever need painting, yee-haw’....Andy, come here boy...
