The average voter couldn't care less about what law school he went to.

(1) That is what legions of Freepers said about Harriet Miers, whose nomination was withdrawn, wasn't it?

(2) The Dems & MSM will use the material at hand to caricature the candidate into negatives the public does care about. The law school will be part of a Stupid tag (the Dems favorite). Hunter will be portrayed as a rigid right-wing, no talent GOP hack. Unless Hunter is obviously brilliant in debate, they would make it stick, because there is nothing in Hunter's bio to combat it with.

If you think Harriet Miers withdrew her Scotus nomination because of the law school she attended, well, you just weren't paying attention. She withdrew because of the pressure put on by people who wanted a conservative candidate.

Why are people so worried about what the Dems and MSM will do? They're on the other side and will do whatever they can to defeat any Republican candidate. So what? Are we supposed to let the Dems and MSM control who Republicans run for President? Have we become so gun shy that we are afraid to support a candidate who the MSM doesn't like?

God help us if this is true.
