Rick Santorum or John Cornyn would have been shoe-ins.

Did you follow the Ashcroft confirmation? There is absolutely no way that Santorum would be a shoo-in. As for Cornyn...he's supporting Miers.

Ashcroft was a former Senator by that time. And he was confirmed, wasn't he?

I never suggested Cornyn should fight Miers. Just replace her as the nominee when she is withdrawn.

Ashcroft may be on the next list.
