#1 Both side's "fringes" have the money and influence to scuttle this nomination, and if they do, Bush may well have a Jesus moment, in which he gets to ask himself: Which is easier to win? When both side's "fringes" are after my nominee, or when just the left is?

#2 Don't know, but I'll tell you this: if the fringes on the right kill Miers' nomination, they *will* lose a lot of the middle who voted for Bush.

It will put Hillary in the White House - guaranteed.

#3 That last comment needs more explanation.

There are a lot of moderately conservative people like me who moved a bit more to the right in response to the irresponsible, polarizing, ideology-driven idiocy of the left.

If we see the same thing driving the right in practical ways - such as torpedoing Miers because she doesn't offer the opportunity for an open ideological battle, as so many on the right have openly admitted they want - then a good many will move back to the middle and might well decide Hil is the better of two bad options.

#4 Dear God, Please have the Republicans nominate Giuliani in 2008 so that Hil cannot seem the lesser of two evils. Amen.
