Conservatives look past Miers

Conservatives look past Miers

"Conservative activists relieved at Harriet Miers' withdrawal are vowing to oppose President Bush's next nominee unless the candidate has solid conservative credentials."

In which case LIBERAL activists will vow a filibuster, and we go to nuculer - I mean NUCLEAR - option.

Here's my prediction: Bush names a senator. Maybe Orrin Hatch, maybe someone else. The tradition of Senate collegiality will outweigh the outrage of the activists, and the critically weakened Bush can claim victory.
