The problem I have with Umbridge is her physical and mental state at the
end of Phoenix.  Sorry, no book quotes here, but she lay in bed in the
hospital wing pretty much not saying anything to anyone and panicked
whenever she heard Ron faking the horses clip clop with his tongue. 
Sounds to me like someone who needs a long vacation, not a promotion.  

Not to mention, there was no way she wasn't thoroughly discredited by her
actions at Hogwarts.  She admitted to having sic'd the Dementors on Harry,
she came 'this close' to using the CRUCIO curse -- I'll have a hard time
understanding why if she doesn't do at least a short stretch in Azkaban at
some point in the near future.

I'm not surprised Arthur won't be Minister, he doesn't seem to be the type
to play -- or even WANT to play -- the political game.  JKR's "alas"
scares me a little.  It gives me a bad feeling about Mr. W's continued
health.
