You misunderstand (don't you?)
I'm talking about the President and his party advisors checking on a number of top candidates through outsources with some expertise in a given field. For instance the AMA for Surgeon General or the ABA for Attorney General. Obviously, it isn't the place the party to nominate, but rather to advise. My feeling is that President Bush either isn't soliciting that kind of advice, or isn't listening.
He just apparantely has a lot of
friends.
