Meirs is a white protestant southerner. This is the real reason, just like all the reasons associated with why the South was defeated, that you don't see much discussion in the MSM about why she is so hated by 'Conservatives'.

Get real.

You'd have to explain why most of the Republican national leadership for the last decade has been from the South or the border states.

All of the conservatives in question would have been ecstatic with such sons and daughters of the South as Bill Pryor or Edith Jones. It's about experience and aptitude, not her zip code.
