If anything, GW has conceeded to 75% fo the opposition agenda.

Has he? If he is able to overhaul the courts via appointments(very possible with a win in 2004), how much does that count for in advancing conservatism? Does that count as just a single issue, considering all the ramifications and that the courts are now the liberals' endgame backdoor to overriding the constitution?

I see no signs of Bush giving in on the courts.

Noiminating conservative judges isn't the same as getting them confirmed. The new tone prevents Bush from pushing these candidates through -- the so-called "nuclear" option. I'm told Bill Frist won't push because Bush doesn't want the Senate's legislative "work" to be hindered.
