Insiders are saying this guy was always a Bush favorite, but he went with somebody outside the "monastary" with Miers.
I think Miers straight up told Bush she would follow Scalia on the court.
Miers would have been a conservative, hence President Bush nominated her.
The DUmmies think it was the plan all along, LOL.
Those guys have to find a conspiracy behind everything.
The conspiracy theory goes: nominate Miers, show to the world you really wanted a woman, not a staunch male constitutionalist, then let the base scream, and then appoint your REAL choice.
Truly a plot of Rovian magnitutde, right up there with that weather machine of his.
