"lowering expectations, goading everyone into seeing her as a spinster church lady, harmless and meek."

Yeah... that's right. They PURPOSELY kept her credentials below that of other candidates, even though she secretly has more. They PURPOSELY made it seem as though she was over 60, when she really isn't a day over 40... what else should we add to this grand conspiracy?

Listen, if you have made up your mind there is not need to argue with you.

I am putting out theories of how the President makes his choices. It's a process thing.

I finally decided this evening that I am completely behind the President at this point, although I was slow to come around. Unless she completely blows it at the hearings, I will not change my mind.

Why? Because I spent the day today talking to rank and file Americans. The non-elites. The non activist. But still conservative. And to a one, they are tuning out Rush and Hannity and the rest of the loud nay sayers and supporting the President's choice. He may not have scored points with us, but he scored major points with average American conservatives. That is hard for me to argue with.

I accept your position. I think it is perfectly logical and completely understandable. But I still disagree. No amount of haranguing and sarcasm is going to change my position. The question is whether you can accept my position as well. Quite frankly, I am beginning to feel that there is a large part of this community that would just as soon the rest of us went away because we are not smart enough or conservative enough or practically perfect in every way. I am just not sure how to respond to that kind of thinking.
