Harriet Miers withdraw her nomination

Now President Bush can nominate anyone he wants, and it does not have to be a woman. If he nominates a man, and people object that he did not replace a woman with a woman, he can say, "I nominated a woman, but you shot her down."

My guess is that the Bush admin had to cut their losses. The word on the Hill was that staffers on Monday were asking about the best way for her to withdraw.

We must also see that the new nominee can be a way for the Administraion to sieze the initiative again after the inditments tomorrow. Its said that Bush will go for a "Borklike" figure who will ignite a ferocious battle over confirmation. A few days after the indictments Bush will annouce his hard right choice and rally his base and try to move on from the Rove/Libby resignations.

"Politricks" is a bit like chess, you gotta plan several moves ahead.

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.

"to move from the Rove/Libby resignations."

You're almost a prophet, lazarus!

At least as of this moment, Rove hasn't resigned - though some feel he should.
