As a conservative, Bush delivered on two of the main reasons I voted for him: the Supreme Court (Alito and Roberts were great picks) and keeping the country safe. On other issues, he was medocre or even terrible, but those two things, along with the poor quality of the alternatives, are why I still don’t regret my votes for him.

You wouldn’t have had Alito if Bush had his way. He wanted Harriet Miers.
