Thanks for your insight, Pukin. Bush knows the importance of this appointment. He knows the stakes are high. I don't believe he would squander this opportunity by nominating someone in whom he didn't have complete confidence.

The 80% denial coupled with the Republican Senators, spinless wonders all, left Bush in a tough situation.

Thanks, but my insight had nothing to do with it. I just shared what I was told. I suppose there will always be those who would rather believe it was just a damn good guess?

And, whoever thought one of the most principled and respected Presidents of all-time, Ronald Reagan, would have gotten burned twice by stealth nominees. But, it did happen twice.

The stealth strategy has been an utter failure. This is too important a nomination to take the chance again.
