Just as I predicted. W is now perceived as severely weakened and wounded. His enemies will move in for the political kill.
And they probably won't even be polite enough to say "thanks" to the elitist conservatives.
"Just as I predicted. W is now perceived as severely weakened and wounded. His enemies will move in for the political kill."
Could you please provide details (based in real terms) as to how his "enemies" are going to politically kill the president?
Are they going to use poison or a pistol? Last time I looked he was President until Jan 2009 and has majorities in each House until Jan 2007.

It doesn't take a political genius to see that if you raise the white flag like he did on this nomination that you are sending a message of weakness and begging your enemies to circle. What's worse, by choosing appeasement, he alienated his allies as he begged the enemy to close in.
I wonder when people are going to realize that the much heralded political genius in the WH may not be as great as they thought....
Well, since I was correct in predicting a few weeks back that Miers would eventually withdraw, I'll go for prediction #2: le affair Miers will be forgotten by Monday, Bush will nominate a strong constructionist, the conservatives & moderates will rally round ready to fight, and Bush's numbers will be back over 50% within 2 weeks.
