Is that really true Jeff??? Did Harry Reid endorse this woman? I heard her speak on C-Span’s ‘Washington Journal’ a few hours ago, and she sounded like an arch-conservative to me.

Andrew Sullivan is busy having a fit- the crony angle is freaking him out. The fact that she thinks George is such a smarty-pants is freaky. She is not qualified for the job.

E-mail? I don’t use those newfangled technologies. E-mail, eyeliner, Ehrenstein… all those e-words…

Her eyeliner choices leave much to be desired.

That she priases Bush’s intellect tells you all you need to know. Conventional Politics is hopeless.

Yeah, the Harry Reid psuedo-endorsement probably makes her a pretty safe bet… but I have read that there’s a decent chance the ABA will have a bunch of voters (however that works) vote “not qualified” and that she’ll probably end up with a “qualified” at best (as opposed to Roberts’ “well qualified”). If the ABA doesn’t endorse, that will provide some cover for Senators to vote against her.
