GOP strategist Rollins: 'Best for Gonzales to resign'
On the March 16 broadcast of CBS News' The Early Show, Republican strategist and former assistant to President Reagan Ed Rollins conceded that U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales should resign due to revelations of his involvement in the firing of eight U.S. atorneys.
"It's certainly the President's prerogative but I would argue that he should go," Rollins said of Gonzales. "I think at this point in time they are losing support of Republican Senators by the day and the president desperately needs their support."
When asked what the best way is for the White House to move beyond the scandal, Rollins replied, "The best way is for Gonzales to resign and move on and put someone of great credibility in there."
"The bottom line here is that they can't have the scrutiny -- they can't continue -- they can't be fighting on two fronts. They're fighting on the war front," Rollins added. "They can't be fighting on this front, too."
