This is a clever attempt by the WH to deflect the MSM's attention away from DeLay and bring the spotlight back on the WH.
I have to disagree. If the nomination is in the offing anyway, then why deflect it with a false candidate? It makes more sense to just announce the real candidate. Now, if Miers IS the real candidate... let's just say this looks more like Bush rewarding friends as opposed to taking the SCOTUS nomination seriously. He promised us Conservatives, with this lady, we ain't getting that.
