The elite have their day
Everybody hates Harriet Miers. At least those of us in the blogosphere do. The conservative elite have spent years grooming their legal eagles for the supreme court and they are pissed that Bush ignored their recos. The liberal elite can't stand Bush's obsession with getting his drinking buddies high paying jobs.
But Colorado's James Dobson is on the Miers bandwagon. Her cred may be suspect. And her experience may be absent. But she is an evangelical. And for Dobson, that is literally all that matters.
Perhaps Karl Rove told Dobson something in their closed-door meeting. Or perhaps Dobson is just insane. Either way, I'd like to trade him to Arkansas for whoever is shelving the books at the Clinton library.
In the meantime, I keep myself happy by rocking back and forth in my desk chair repeating, "Santorum is gonna lose, Santorum is gonna lose." No, that doesn't help us in Colorado. But I take my victories where I find them.

Well, now we know. Fund of the WSJ reports...
"On Oct. 3, the day the Miers nomination was announced, Mr. Dobson and other religious conservatives held a conference call to discuss the nomination. One of the people on the call took extensive notes, which I have obtained. According to the notes, two of Ms. Miers's close friends--both sitting judges--said during the call that she would vote to overturn Roe."
