And why would he do that? To tie up Congress in a fight over his nomination and thus taking the pressure off of him on other more serious issues. Besides, it plays well to his rabid Christian base. On the other hand, it doesn't play well to moderate Republics. I know quite a few Republics who are so appalled at what Bush has done to the Republic party, they will be voting Democratic in 2008 even if they don't particularly like the candidate. They see that as the only way to regain control of their party. I believe that Bush intentionally appointed the most controversial candidate he could find. And why would he do that?
