I don't think I said Ashcroft was a good or the best candidate. If I said anything, it was that the racism card and other garbage being played against him was wrong.
His opponents should have concentrated on policies, actions, and rulings. Naw, baby, naw, they chose to whack on stupid and false racist charges. Dumb, Dumb, Dumb.
No opinion on his qualifications, though I think he still has a boner after the passage of the USA act.
