Hoping she may just possibly turn out OK wasn't the fundraising campaign strategy this time last year, as I recall.

"Vote for me, and I'll nominate a crony you've never heard of, because I'm a-skeered of Jim Jeffords and Olympia Snowe!"

Nope. Don't recall that.

Dude, you are preaching to the choir, man.

LOL!

The pitch was:

"Vote for me and I will nominate a strict constructionist in the mold of Scalia and Thomas to the court."

Now, I demand one. Miers *may* be one. But, I can't go with *hope*.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

It was there.

Coded language, don't ya see?

You know, like when Mel Martinez promised to be a rip-snortin', fire-breathin' right-winger who was going to put a stop to all that nonsense his Islamist-lovin', tax-raising, baby-abortin', Castro-huggin' Dem. opponent was spewing, then decided that Al Qaeda terrorists detained at Gitmo just needed a big group hug in ordered to be fixed.

How could you possibly miss that?

....both of whom voted to confirm John Roberts, who is far more conservative than I have any confidence in W. Harriet Miers ever turning out to be.

Yeah, real good strategerizing, Mr. President.
