Polling Webloggers on Miers

John Hawkins polled some right-wing webloggers to gauge Miers opinion. A plurality (49%) think Miers was a "bad or terrible" pick. However, there are deep divisions on whether President Bush should continue to support her or if GOP Senators should confirm her. What this tells me is the right-wing blogosphere understands that the politics of the present is complicated. Many aren't happy with the pick. Dumping her now could be politically damaging, but letting her onto the Court could cause long-term repercussions. All this makes her confirmation hearings very important. Her responses to questioning Senators (when they're not making long-winded speeches) will allow conservatives to decide if they really want a war with the President.
