		 True, CP. 
 
With the former head of FEMA Michael Brown, I don't even think it was cronyism, unless cronyism is the same as a political payoff.  Maybe it is.   
 
But a lot of what is or could be defined as cronyism may not be.  If I am President, do I go with the people I know?  I know what they are capable of, what they beleive, and if they can do the job I want for them.  Or do I go with unknowns who are recommended to me?  I would probably opt to go with those I knew.  I think anyone would.
