I wonder how many of those who reacted negatively when they first heard of the Miers nomination will go through the transformation that one Polipundit reader did:

My personal journey ... has been from:

- OUTRAGE (on hearing the announcement)…I was all dressed up and ready for a FIGHT!! Bring it on! JRB…JRB…JRB (or LUTTIG 3 times, etc)

- PISSED OFF (most of the day yesterday)…looked like weakness on Bush’s part, and capitulation to Reid (who had HER on HIS list!)

- RELUCTANT ACCEPTANCE (very late yesterday)…OK, Bush got more votes than I did, and heck, I worked my ass off for the man! So yeah, he gets to choose.

- TEPID SUPPORT (early this morning) “ya know, this MAY not be so bad after all?!?"…the more I learn of HER and the people who OUGHT to be opposing her, the more I like her!

- SOLID SUPPORT (lunchtime)…what’s not to like? Not MY pick, but a great pick nonetheless. And, I must admit, I had NEVER heard of Roberts before HIS nomination! JRB, I freely admit, had been my pick all along because I live in California, and she had been SPLENDID out here!

- ENTHUSIATIC SUPPORT (where I AM and remain)…STRATEGERY! Frankly this is a HUGE win for us! Harry Reid has recommended an Evangelical Christian who has SEEN THE LIGHT regarding abortion, etc. NARAL and NOW will implode over this!
