No, the fact that the Dems don't want this fight means they are HAPPY with the Miers pick.
They can be happy for more than one reason.
No, the reason the Dems are not fighting is they are happy to stand aside while they think we are committing fratricide. Old saying in politics, "If you opponent is busying digging themselves into a hole, get out of the way". Once the Hearing begin, you will find out the Dems don't care about Meirs one way of the other except as a chance to defeat the Republicans on SOMETHING. Democrats have no thought beyond wining the most immediate fight, they are completely tactical in thinking and spare not a thought for strategy. They have no principal beyond their self-agrandizement. Their only position on Miers will be use it in a way they can win political points. The reason they are being quite is they haven't figured out their best political play. The only Dem to say he liked her, Reid, back tracked on his statements the very next day.
