The nomination of Roberts to the Supreme Court is probably the result of the Rove Flap and the War in Iraq going badly.
DUBYA'S POPULARITY HAS BEEN IN DECLINE....AND ANY MORE CONTROVERSY, AT THIS POINT, COULD PUT DUBYA INTO A PUBLIC RELATIONS TAIL SPIN.
.....JUST IN TIME FOR THE 2006 ELECTIONS, WHICH WILL LIKELY NOT BE GOOD FOR REPUBLICANS IN GENERAL....
Clearly, Roberts' "thin record" means he can't be "Borked." And his tenure on the Washington Appeals Court has been very brief.
Politically, Roberts seems TOTALLY BLUE.
...BORN IN NEW YORK, RAISED IN INDIANA, WORKED IN PITTSBURG....HARVARD LAW AND A WASHINGTON LAW FIRM..... NOT A RED NECK BUBBA BONE IN HIS BODY.....
Not likely to be too religious. A scholar and perhaps a "good listener." Not a Fifth Circuit bigot.....
SO, WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?
BUSH PUNKS ON ROBERTS....THANK ROVE FOR THAT....AND THE IRAQ INSURENCY.
Democrats should be happy....there is "blood in the water" now.
The Rove Magic is ending.
