I think this could be the basis for the buzz in the blog tonight that Miers was a last minute pick because the first or second picks nixed Bush.
I think this information is consistent with the information in this story, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/1500781/posts?page=69 which states that part of the Miers pick seems to be a confused process and a rush job, which adds credibility to the rumor of a last minute back out.

This is not just to you. It's to everyone who has instantly said, Oh, Rove said it, it must be true.
Here's the scenario. You're a female federal judge. You're an accomplished, professional adult, and a conservative by nature and character. You have many admirers on the conservative side, and many who want to raise you up to the Supreme Court. Your place in history, in other words.
The president calls you. That's THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, by the way....
Janice, this is President Bush.
Hello, Mr. President.
Janice, I want you on the Supreme Court. You are my first choice. Your country needs you. I am asking you, as your president, to please accept this nomination.
Mr. President, I am more honored than you will ever know to have been chosen. Of course I will accept the nomination, and serve my country.
It'll be some tough going, Janice.
Mr. President, I am pleased to begin the process.
Thank you, Janice.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Does anyone here really believe that solid, conservative women federal judges actually wilted when their president called on them with this offer?
I don't believe it for a second. And I'm really getting cheesed off at the STREAM of crap coming from the WH. Sexism. Elitism. Inside the beltway-ers. And now: What the F, Conservative Base, nobody wanted the damned job anyway.
