RED MEAT! (Happy Halloween!)

Bush's new nominee is a real Treat for conservstives and a Trick for Democrats. I doubt much will change for the near term. The problem I see is that the bru-ha-ha that will most certainly ensue will zap precious energy from a Congress that needs to get work done.

Who knows? Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised if he turns out to be not as conservative as his billing. I doubt it!
