A Good Republican

For more than two years, U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan has been consumed by the latest entry on his resume: acting chief of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

The Republican has been balancing both jobs while dealing with opposition to his ATF confirmation from members of his own party in the Senate. Now, with the presidential election a month away and Congress adjourned, Sullivan, 54, could soon end up unemployed.

What--there's no demand for breaking up rocks or making license plates, you know, kind of a Big Tent to Big House transition...?

And here's a scary thought:

At various times, he's been talked about in state Republican circles as a possible candidate for governor, state attorney general and the U.S. Senate.

Yeah, maybe a John Kerry/Ted Kennedy/Brady Campaign endorsement will clinch it for him.

Good thing the Republicans can also count on gun owners.
