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.

You couldn't be more wrong, the vast majority of the objection to Miers was because she was a mediocrity. This Ann Coulter column should refresh your memory, as would many contemporaneous FR threads.

Does this law degree make my resume look fat?

Why are people so worried about what the Dems and MSM will do?

Because with GWB the Republicans have barely won two elections in a row, and it is difficult for a party to win three in a row. Our candidate in 2008 will need to be especially good, attract new GOP voters, and to bust out of the 50-50 Red-Blue divide. Duncan Hunter appeals to Freepers, but I don't see him appealing to anyone that GWB did not. Since he has not made himself known outside of his district, he will be introduced to the people by the MSM. They have the Stupid Republican template ready to go for him, and the rinky-dink law school will be part of the story line, you heard it here first.

It would be hard to forget since that's all you've talked about since Hunter announced. If that's all you got, give up, you are the only one who cares.
