"Add on Stephy and Cokie as well, why are all the rats lining up behind Gonzales?"

I may be off base here, but here's a couple of thoughts: Either they know something we don't know (his real ideaology or have some dirt on him they're ready to smear) and/or they look at him as maybe the lesser of some of the 'evils' (e.g., more conservative types) that the Pres might appoint. By getting his name out, it makes it familiar to the public and also the Dims can say - hey, we're trying to work w the Pres here.

I'd like to see the Pres appoint Mark Levin - that would drive the Dims bonkers (hee hee)

Filibusters of Appellate judges vs. blocking Supreme judges are two hugely different things. Obstruction WILL be noticed by everyone in the SC's case, whereas only we politicos noticed for the lesser judges.

Therefore, blocking any minority, be it black, brown, or female will have disastrous consequences for the Dems who purport to be a rainbow party. They're gig will be up.

I'll concur that Garza is the odds on favorite.

You are correct IMHO, about the tactics re: Gonzalez---

It has been said that he is pro-choice and light on immigration issues..

I find it laughable that these dems that are "acting" like he might be "doable" are the same ones that were ripping him not to long ago for "writing the torture rules" used since 9/11....

If the dems want a nominee---I am against him/her, because Ralph Neas and George Soros aren't spending this much time and money, just to have the dems acquiesce to Gonzalez easily for NO reason...

Very interesting stuff there Seattle,
It's clear that the rats have a mantra for everything they do.It's hard to figure out this one. I can't see them letting Bush taking credit for the nominating the first Hispanic. Maybe they have a deal with the MSM to take all the credit instead of GW should it happen, who knows.

Mark Levin would be awesome, but Janice Rodgers Brown better. Mark is an occasional freeper.
