Bush's Chance To Rise Above His Own Reality

Sandra Day O'Connor is retiring! Now we get to see what Bush is really made of. Will he kowtow to his right wing zealots and try to get an impossibly conservative nominee approved or, now that there are no more elections for him to worry about, will he rise to the occasion and pick a balanced candidate seeking to unite rather than divide?

We can only hope that his eye has turned to the broader stage of history, away from the narrow vision of electoral politics. It would be so much easier to trust his vision if he didn't permanently wear that arrogant smirk.

I fear the direction he will pursue but continue to hope that he'll prove my fears unjustified.
