Hugh Hewitt suggests that there will be a major crack-up on the Right because of the Miers imbroglio. “It is also certain that a crucial slice of the evangelical base will perceive in the rejection of Miers a rejection of their status as equal partners in the governing coalition,” he writes. Well, see, there’s yet another problem with game-playing nominations like this one. Judging from what I’ve been hearing and the hundreds of e-mails I’ve been receiving, there are just as many evangelicals who are appalled by the Miers selection. So if Bush pleases some and disgusts others, there will have been no net gain for him or the party.
