"Offending your supporters has real-world consequences. With one grave misjudgment, George W. Bush has shattered the coalition that brought and returned him to power in 2000 and 2004."

I am not offended. I think GWB knows more about his choice than anyone else and it is HIS choice.

It is his choice - and a damn poor one at that. What the hell did he expect??? The conservative base is now split between conservatives and cheerleaders. The conservatives, including myself , believe that the President has let them down.

He had a long list of qualified candidates to choose from, yet he decides to go with an unknown friend instead. This was an incredibly bad move and Bush deserves every bit of the bad press he is getting!
