While the turmoil on the right offers Democrats a tantalizing opportunity, party strategists said, it also will confront them with a difficult choice: Confirm a conservative with close ties to President Bush, or oppose her and join ranks with hard-right activists who historically are their arch enemies. Charlie is a bit simple minded.

The WH focus should be what effect this will have on the 2006 House elections. Could the Republicans lose the House over this, I wonder?

A strategy for the Democrats is outlined on the NOW web page.
There are some important abortion cases coming up soon. So - oppose Miers quietly but let the Republicans do much of the dirty work in keeping her off the court; then O'Connor gets to rule on the abortion cases. Then, if Bush nominates someone else with a big conservative paper trail, tie the Senate up with filibusters.

Actually, I think it is our (the Conservatives) fault. If we had pitched a b*tch about Roberts, as we had every right to do, because he is just as much of an unknown as Miers (maybe more), then Miers would have never been nominated.

There will be some people here left mumbling to themselves with a drool bib on when this is all over. lol
For or against, they sure do work up a lather over things they can't control. Exactly 100 Senators will decide what happens.

Note to Chuck, don't play chess with Karl Rove,
or Texas Hold'em with GW.
Then again maybe you COULD beat them next hand, maybe.

To: NapkinUser
If Bush chose a good vocal conservative and that person was Borked, it would anger and motivate conservatives to keep fighting harder than ever for a
real Republican Senate.
If all that the hard work gave us is a Democrat qualified SCOTUS nominee, it's all over for the Republican Party.
There would be a total demoralization of the base and probably a third party exodus from those conservatives who would still have the strength to continue fighting.

So voters , pressure groups and donaters responses have NO effect on how the senators vote
Now that is a novel concept

No, it's the extreme right's fault.

Really doubt it. In the next couple of days ask friend, neighbors, co-workers, anyone you meet. Do you know who Harriet Miers is, and what do you think for her? I hazzard a guess that it will be an eye opener.
There are 231 Republicans 202 Democrats 1 Independent members. Do the math.

Yeah Rove and Bush's handling of CFR was sheer genius as was that performance by Bush in the first debate with Kerry
Good thing the Swift Boat Vets saved their butts
