Conservatives Want Brown
A GOPUSA poll of 1000 Conservatives (lets. see there are about ten in Boulder...) shows that most (72%) thought that Harriet Miers "did the right thing" by withdrawing and the consensus is almost as clear for the next nominee:
Judge Janice Rogers Brown: 46%
Judge Priscilla Owen: 12%
Judge Michael Luttig: 8%
Solicitor General Ted Olson: 8%
Judge Emilio Garza: 3%
Judge Edith Jones: 3%
Judge Samuel Alito: 1%
Judge Karen Williams: 1%
Larry Thompson: 1%
Someone Else: 16%
Count me in, though there is nobody on that list that I know whom I would not support.

I think this shows that Brown has become a judicial "rock star." When I form a mental image of her confirmation hearings juxtaposed with those of Ms. Miers there's a startling contrast of personality and, dare I say, 'gravitas.'
Let's hope that, just this once, the prez reads the polls.
