Rudman pushed Souter, but I believe Sununu told Bush 41 that he personally thought Souter was ok. Is that not correct?
That is how I understand it as well. Rudman pushed Souter and Sununu concurred.
I don't remember. I know Rudman was instrumental... guaranteed GHWB that Souter was a true conservative. I remember thinking at the time "oh no he's not" but I was only basing my opinion on Souter being a New Englander.
