Andrew Card is trying to put cold water on rumors that he is moving over to the Treasury Department to replace John Snow . Rumors of Card taking the Treasury slot have been flying around Washington for months, as have rumors of Snow being the next Cabinet level official to walk the plank, perhaps just after the new year. /p>But Card's role in the failed Harriet Miers nomination to the Supreme Court, and the White House's poor pushback on Democrats' charges of cronyism related to a series of nominations made after the 2004 re-election, have made it difficult for Card to make the play for Treasury. Card would be a solid nomination for the Treasury slot, though some conservatives might fight the nomination.
However, Card has been one of the few Bush Administration officials to actually cultivate a relationship with conservatives outside of the White House.
