Two things:

First, all GOP senators who have said anything about Miers have only good thing to say. The assumption that the "right" does not support this candidate is a stretch. At best, the "right" you refer to is divided. But in the end, all the GOP senate will vote for her nomination.

Secondly, on the DemoRATS side, they will be as neutered as they were with Roberts. She will be extremely difficult to attack.

End result: Associate Supreme Court Justice Harriet Meirs.

And by the way, I would like to know what you are smoking...must be some really good stuff.

Not necessarily. Those facing reelection in 06 or 08 will pay attention to their voters. Senator Allen yesterday said calls to his office were almost completely against Miers, none favorable.

Too many want/need some substance before they can support Miers. So far, all we've gotten is that she was the first woman to head the Texas bar and she was on the Texas lottery commission.
