Snow won't go

On Monday the New York Times reported that:

"A definite decision has been made to replace Snow as soon as a successor is named, an adviser to the White House told the newspaper"


Tonight the AP is reporting that:

"Treasury Secretary John Snow, an aggressive champion of the administration's economic policies, accepted President Bush's offer Wednesday to remain in the Cabinet"


Snow staying

This same article says that Anthony Principi is resigning as Veteran Affairs Secretary, making him number 9 out of 15 in the cabinet to leave.

If the AP is right and the NYT is wrong that should be good news, since John Snow said recently that the budget defecit was his number one priority. Now, let's hope he acts on that priority competently.
