Bush to Nominate Alito

According to news reports, President Bush will nominate judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. Judging from the initial hysterical reaction from the Democratic leaders and even the MSM commentators, this is the right pick.

So far the critical reaction is laughable: "Why would he do this when his ratings are so low?;" "Democrats have said this will be a divisive candidate;" etc.

Alito's qualified, he's conservative, and Bush is telling everyone that he will not back down from a fight, regardless of how desperately people want him to become a lame duck. Bush is coming back and he ain't gonna take it lying down.
