I think Bush missed an opportunity to turn things around for him by appointing Snow. He already has the conservatives (largely) in his corner- he really needs to reach out to all Americans, not just the conservatives, and he could have chosen a more moderate person to do so. Instead, it sent a message loud and clear: expect more of the same, and the divisions will only continue to grow. I mean, really- did he have to choose someone from Fox? Talk about pouring gas on the fire. Now all the other outlets are going to be pissy and Fox will be even more unsufferable than they already are.
