"Democrats need to make clear that since President Bush has already picked a conservative in Roberts for one vacancy, the other selection needs to be a more moderate Republican in the mold of O'Connor."

Republicans need to make clear that since President Bush won two national elections he can pick whomever he pleases.

Well said. I've been saying all along 2 vacancies are bad for us - I knew Democrats would start spouting this nonsense.

And the Republicans are PITIFUL at PR. They never blow an opportunity to blow an opportunity. The press is going to be on Bush like white on rice about nominating a "moderate". I hope he holds out until after Roberts is on the bench to take the wind out of their sails.
