New SCOTUS AppointmentPriscilla OwenBush picks insider for Supreme Court
President George W. Bush on Monday nominated a member of his inner circle, White House counsel Harriet Miers, for a Supreme Court vacancy, choosing a woman with plenty of legal experience but who is not a judge to replace the retiring Sandra Day O'Connor.Who really knows anything about Miers? Is she REALLY a judicial originalist, or another lib running under false colors? According to this AP report, there's a bit of contradictory political evidence.
In 1988, Miers, then a lawyer in private practice, donated $1,000 to Gore, the Tennessee Democrat then seeking the party's presidential nomination, according to Federal Election Commission reports. Gore eventually bowed out and Michael Dukakis secured the nomination.In 2000, Miers contributed to the campaign of Texas Gov. George W. Bush, who was running against Gore that year. When the votes were still being counted in Florida and the outcome was in doubt, she gave $5,000 to the Bush-Cheney Inc. Recount Fund, according to the non- partisan Political MoneyLine.Time will tell.

Kristol isn't happy. I'M DISAPPOINTED, depressed and demoralized.

Run, Rice, run: Fans seek Condi candidacy
Devoted admirers of Condoleezza Rice bought time for a television commercial during the premiere last week of "Commander in Chief," backing the secretary of state for the White House in 2008....Richard Mason, a Miami doctor and enthusiastic Rice supporter, established Americans For Dr. Rice in 2004 after talking with colleagues about the best Republican presidential candidate in 2008.This has even attracted attention across the pond, where once again, the Sunday Telegraph has picked up on the draft Condi movement here.
Dick Morris is so intrigued with the concept that he has a book coming out real soon now on the topic:
Even without discussing any of the other details of the situation, the Chief thinks that the potential for a Condi vs. Hilary race in '08 would be the greatest amount of political fun that there has been in a LONG time! Also, Condi would wipe up the floor with Hil in a debate. The possibilities are breathtaking.
She sure as heck would be a stronger candidate than any of the other GOP prospects that one hears mentioned.
