"If ever there was a time that cried out for consensus, the time is now," New York Senator Chuck Schumer said Thursday. "If the president nominates a consensus nominee, he will be embraced — the president will be embraced and the nominee will be embraced with open arms by people on this side of the aisle. Not only we on this side of the aisle but the American people hope and pray in these difficult times for a consensus nominee."
In other words, President Bush, nominate a liberal, not someone you want. Don't nominate someone who represents your own conservative values or the conservative values of the people who elected you. Nominate someone who represents the opposite of what you stand for.
Sure, by nominating a "consensus" candidate, Bush might get his selection through with little problem. But you and I both know that no matter who Bush selects, someone ain't gonna like it. In my opinion, Bush should (and probably will) nominate the person he feels is best for the job, not the person the Democrats will confirm. The Democrats aren't gonna play nice unless they get to make the rules and choose the nominee.
