There were several people who were supposedly heavily vetted -- Owen, Batchelder, and Williams. They were also supposedly looking at Corrigan. The rumor is, though denied, that Owen withdrew. The other rumor is that someone else withdrew immediately before Miers. The latest rumor is that the person in question was Williams. That is denied by those close to Williams.

Oh, for gosh sake! No one's even reading off the same page as their judicial candidates there at the WH any more.

Here is the link to yesterdays FReeper article stating that it was Rove himself who told Dobson that most of the potential nominees had withdrawn their names.

Then a poster on this board (see posts 1 thru 13) stated that he/she knew that Owen was one of them. I put post 13 on their because I smelled rotten fish.
