His base is demoralized.

Some of them, yes; but I suspect when we actually find out about this woman, that song will change.

If a POTUS candidate promises to nominate conservative judges should we conclude that that promise is just a load of hot air?

I hope you're not referring to George Bush with that statement; so far, he's kept his word.

Wow, another wide-eyed optimist for Bush (WEOB). If we find out differently, it will of course be too late won't it?

And your proof for this statement is what exactly?

Hello, Howlin

I have been reading and listening and trying to determine whether I like this nomination by Dubya. I have concluded that Miers will be a terrific, conservative Supreme Court Associate Justice (for many reasons).

I also have a theory: I think that Bush nominated this woman of relatively unknown bona fides in order to help Ginsburg make the decision to retire sooner rather than later. But even regardless of what Ginsburg does, there is still a good possibility that Dubya will get a THIRD opportunity to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. And the odds are that that next vacancy will come from the liberal side.

With Miers, Bush appears to be throwing the Democrats the bone they demanded. (Again, I believe the Democrats are getting a lot more than they bargained for, but that's another thread.) The NEXT nomination, which will have Dubya filling a former liberal slot, is the one that will result in war - - full scale political war like nothing the nation has ever witnessed.

Summary: I think Bush may know something that the general public does not know, and I think Bush is keeping his powder dry.
