"Weak Sisters"
Thomas Sowell makes an excellent case that Harriet Miers may be the best the rest of us could have hoped for, given the "weak sisters" in the Senate -- Arlen Specter and John Warner by name (but the term also encompasses Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins and Lincoln Chafee).
And by all means, let's remember John McCain -- who, this week, was probably singlehandedly responsible for forcing a run-off for an Orange County congressional seat, because of his endorsement of a candidate that the National Review quite correctly called a "Republican who favors partial-birth abortion, criticizes Social Security reform, and waffles on free trade." McCain's candidate won only won 16% of the vote -- but that was enough to hold the mainstream Republican at 46%, rather than letting him get to the 51% that would have sent him to Congress immediately.
With friends like this, who needs Democrats?
