But what is known, through official and unofficial channels, paints a picture of a conservative Texas lawyer with rock-solid beliefs

Yeah, just like all the other rock-solid conservatives who gave thousands of dollars to Al Gore, Lloyd Bentsen and the DNC.

Hello y'all. I'm new at this as this is my first post...
While Harry Reid is a pompous a--, I thought I read somewhere that he is actually pro-life, or least against abortion on demand for any reason. Am I mistaken? If not, then it makes sense that he would support Miers.

Soth, I don't know what part of the country you're from, but here in Texas, being a Democrat is not synonymous with "Liberal". Many of the older folks in particular, consider themselves Democrats out of heritage (a Civil War thing). But, over the past 20 years, many are seeing of the Demorat party is antithetical to their beliefs and converting to the GOP. I believe Harriet Miers is one of those.
