Well, since I was correct in predicting a few weeks back that Miers would eventually withdraw, I'll go for prediction #2: le affair Miers will be forgotten by Monday, Bush will nominate a strong constructionist, the conservatives & moderates will rally round ready to fight, and Bush's numbers will be back over 50% within 2 weeks.
I suspect you are correct.
Anything to the right of Miers will be labeled as "Extreme".
Well, the Conservatievs wanted this fight as well as the liberals.
Both groups got just what they asked for. Let the games begin.
You're dreaming.
