If Bush appoints a stealth candidate, it will tear the Republican Party apart EVEN IF HE TURNS OUT TO BE RIGHT.

I simply disagree with this asessment. Look, most of us here on FR are political WHACKJOBS, got that? We live, breathe, and sweat this stuff. The vast majority of Republicans, I'll bet, would be happy with anyone who is "conservative". That would include a long list of potential jurists who probably wouldn't make it past the "Gold Standard" of FreeRepublic.

If the nominee has decent Conservative credentials (like, say, a membership to the Federalist Society), she'll be accepted by the large, if not vast majority of Republicans.

The political whackjobs are the people who drive and define the debate for the rest of the country.

Laa, Laaa, Laaaa... I can't hear you.

Seriously, it's funny the lack of perspective in this FR fishbowl.

LOL. Isnt that the truth. Those who think we are representative of anything are deluded. They ought to watch the Tonight Show occasionally. That will bring them back to political reality.
