Quintessentially Texan
One thing that may be overlooked in the discussion about Harriet Miers: she is a Texan.
When faced with the task of choosing someone to replace Sandra Day O’Connor, I am not surprised that George W. Bush chose a Texan. Texas is his real political base, and in choosing Miers he has solidified that base.
George W. Bush is intensely political. It is not surprising that he could not find someone outside of Texas who was better qualified. A lot of other Texans will agree.
