Oh....they have enough worshippers on FR. These people will support Pres. Bush even if he nominates Barney to the Supreme Court. Their reasoning will likely be that the people who oppose Barney are elitist anti-canines.
The people defending the pick, need to notice against whom and how many they are defending it from. Unjustly maligning and insulting Republican base voters and the leading intellectual lights of the movement --who have expressed entirely legitimate concerns about Miers' qualifications and judicial philosophy-- is a recipe for political disaster. Our people are not like the Dems who will turn out and vote en mass, for a candidate who pledges to expand a war with more troops that they bitterly oppose (so long as he's got that "D" next to his name). Our base is notoriously independent and will just stay home on you, when they feel they're being abused and/or taken for granted.
