At first it looked as if you'd need a bloodhound to track down a GOP presidential candidate willing to comment on Gonzo's resignation. But now some statements are beginning to trickle in.

Mitt Romney (sent over by his spokesman):

"Attorney General Gonzales should be recognized for his many years of public service to the State of Texas and to the people of the United States at both the White House and the Department of Justice.

"I believe the Attorney General made the right decision to step aside. The resignation is an opportunity for President Bush to renew the nation's commitment to the law enforcement officers and personnel who are dedicated to enforcing the rule of law and protecting the American people from the threat of terrorism around the globe."

John McCain:

"I have said for a long time that I thought the president would be best served if the attorney general resigned so I think it's the right thing to do."

Sam Brownback:

Said on MSNBC that Gonzales’ resignation is “long overdue.” Easy to say now. Brownback never called for Gonzales’ resignation prior to today.

Still nothing from Rudy, the only U.S. Attorney running for President. We'll let you know if he decides to say anything.

Meanwhile, John Aravosis does a quick lap through the winger blogosphere and discovers that conservatives aren't exactly heartbroken to see Gonzo Gone-o.
