It took me a while to make up my mind, too.
The diversity and affirmative action evidence was what made me decide.
As to what happens from here, I am hopeful that such converts to opposition as Ed Whalen will begin to turn the tide, and that the President will get tough talking advice from someone he trusts on the inside, and so, Miers will withdraw her name.
If this happens, I think the next nominee will have stellar credentials, and be fairly firmly conservative, but will not, alas, be my favorite, JRB.
I admire your honest and humble change of heart.
Hope your book sales are going well!
Cheers,
Richard F.
Oh! If only we had the clout to cinch the nomination for Janice Rogers Brown I would feel that we had worked a major miracle. She is the perfect choice.
Thank you. I don't for a minute think we have much sway, and I don't expect Bush to withdraw her. Honestly, that will severely damage him, too. Did you hear Schumer tonight? Once Miers is gone, they think they will RUN the next pick. So this was a cluster fork from the get-go.
