Steve, a Dim 'strategist' on FNC was just on w Fred Barnes - he said the following, which I've also heard this week:
6) Bush can't/shouldn't nominate right-wing extremists (such as Lettwig)
7) Bush needs to follow the constitution and get advice (and approval) from the Dim Senators [note: they keep twisting the constitution - it's advise and consent (e.g., up and down vote) - not pre-approval]
8) The Senate needs to quit 'rubber-stamping' everything the President wants [note: I don't recall the Senate rubber-stamping anything the Pres wanted - -he's had to fight to get everything through the Senate]
Unbelievable and what makes it even more incredible is that people actually believe it.
