It's not the elite right winger types within the DC beltway ... it's that so called sexist conservative base in the hinterland (of which I'm one) that refuse to be steamrolled by the Bushies. Miers isn't close to being the best candidate, we know it, and fund raising by the NRC has just dropped off the charts.
Um, how should I put this. That's an outright lie! While Ann Coulter is busy knockin' boots with some mid-20's, liberal boytoy and Rush is rationalizing the damage he is doing as "a crackdown" and Kristol is "demoralized" and Will, Buchanan and Carlson, who BTW never supported George Bush, whine and make smarmy remarks from on bow-tied high, a MAJORITY of Conservatives are waiting to see what cooks.
