We already know some of the dynamics of President Bush’s nomination of Judge Samuel Alito: the president’s low approval ratings, driven lower by defections from his base during the Harriet Miers episode, and his need to recapture some political ground by shifting attention from corruption and incompetence to a Supreme Court nominee who can’t be challenged as an incompetent crony.

This is such a pantload.

The president's approval ratings as related to Harriet Miers are nothing more than vapors. After the nomination of Judge Alito, his base will be behind him all the way. Even those not staunchly behind him on other issues, will definately rally behind him to see that Alito becomes the next justice on the SCOTUS.

The attempt to instill the idea that the Bush White House is riddled with corruption is juvenile. One person was charged with not telling the truth. They have not been convicted. Now there's a crime-wave if every I saw one. NOT!

As for incompetence, as it relates to the Miers nomination, he's moved on to nominate Alito. Incompetence on that topic is null and void.

"Incompetence on that topic is null and void."

Si senor. Let's get ready to rumble now! (And I mean with the libs...)

As far as I can tell, the "ubercon" uprising has come to a happy ending for the entire GOP.

The next step is to keep Rove in the White House and get going on 2006.
