I would like to see the Dems reaction if GWB took Soiled Harry Reid's advice and appointed a current member of the Senate. They probably don't think he'd do it. Sen Mike Crapo is about as conservative as you can get, and he is 100% pro life. Plus another Republican would be appointed to fill his seat. The Dems would have fits but Harry is on record as saying Crapo is qualified and he would get through the Senate!
You gotta be kidding. He'd be ridden out of town on a rail, just for having that name. It's a aad but true fact: if the liberals and media can sink their teeth into a bad name, the fellow is toast. Cases in point: Bork, Meese, Gingrich.
I have to admit I never even thought of that idea. But what about the name. I had to look him up because I thought you were pulling my leg. Well, his record from the website looks pretty good. Is there somebody good in Idaho to replace him? I would hate to lose the next election because we appointed a weak candidate.

The BEST Senator to nominate would be Sen John Cornyn.
He was on the Texas Supreme Court, was State AG, has good conservative credentials, etc.
What I'd really love though is State AG Greg Abbot to get nominated (come to think of it, I'd put him in the place to be Texas' US Senator if Cornyn gets 'promoted')
