At least he didn’t get fired…
Most US Attorneys do resign prior to the inauguration of a new administration. Indeed, it is a scandal when they don’t resign, like that wingnut prosecutor out in Pittsburgh.
And I guess the much-wanted judgeship is quite out now, too?
If he were smart, he would challenge Beau Biden in 2010, or if Beau is otherwise occupied (as in running for a federal office of some sort), then he would be a shoo in for AG.
Charles Oberly under consideration as a replacement…tell me that aint all polictical.
How bout Ferris Wharton? Where’s Ferris when we need him.

U.S. Attorney positions ARE political. If they weren’t, Connolly wouldn’t have resigned just as the new administration came to power. It’s called presidential prerogative.
