FEDERALIST FIT (via Tom Corcoran):
Who Was the 2nd Choice? (Ann Coulter, October 20, 2005, FrontPageMagazine.com)
I have finally hit upon a misdeed by the Bush administration so outrageous, so appalling, so egregious, I am calling for a bipartisan commission with subpoena power to investigate: Who told the president to nominate Harriet Miers? The commission should also be charged with getting an answer to this question: Who was his second choice?
Alberto Gonzales Posted by Orrin Judd at October 20, 2005 8:00 PM
If Miers fails to get the nomination, how are the republicans going to stop Gonzales?
Posted by: sam at October 20, 2005 8:47 PMIn your contest, Alberto was my reluctant guess. GWB evidently decided that the base wouldn't accept him, and it certainly won't accept him after Meirs goes down. So, who's behind curtain #3?

Posted by: sam at October 20, 2005 9:29 PMAnn's question is misplaced - if more than one person said no before Miers, then who were they?

He went with Miers instead of Gonzales because his wife wanted a woman and she's the most reliable vote against Roe.
