Tlaloc's point actually makes a lot of sense in light of the conflict between the two men and their staff.<BR/><BR/>I'm not surprised that Dobson finds Miers an acceptable pick. Bush is hardly a conservative loyalist. He is a Republican big-business loyalist and an evangelical loyalist. Everything else he did and said in 2003-2004 (i,e. "Golly, I like that Scalia fellow!") was designed to turn out as many voters as he could, and I don't believe he has any intent on following through now that he faces no personal consequences.James F.
