What bothers me is that it looks like she stuck to the dems while the dems were in power, then when the pubbies started gaining control ion TX she switched to the winning side. It sounds more like opprotunism than ideological change of heart.

I don't know about Miers, but in Texas, like in many areas of Southern states, for years there were a lot of "closet Republicans."

Politically and career-wise, it was difficult to be a Republican. Texas was pretty early in shifting from "D" to "R" and is going strong.

Like I said, I don't know about Miers, but there have been a lot of Texas party switchers...Phil Gramm comes to mind.

Now there's some great leadership.
