Agree...
Hope it works out when the fight comes.

With 55/45 majority we only have to lose 6 votes in a tight race. Three of these are as good as gone if Bush nominates a strong conservative, Snow, Collins, and Chaffee. Based on past performance DeWine is also iffy. That leave 2... McCain is always good for a surprise. Specter is unpredictable. Graham jumped with both feet into the gang of 14 so he is suspect and there could always be a vengeful, resenter to vote out of spite (Lott).

Yes sir... we could have a good fight and get a worse defeat that Miers...

You forget that we will likely pick up some Rat Senators support making defeat less likely. A conservative nominee will be won by persuasion and argument, not by slight of hand or slinking from the fight. If we lose, it will have been in a noble effort for a good cause, and then we can nominate some other conservative.

Might as well just give up then. Hell, let's just give the Democrats the next pick and be done with it. Oh wait, that's what we did on THIS pick! Miers was Harry Ried's idea!
