Gallup on Miers

Interesting poll - which seems very on target to my thinking.

One of the more salient:


If you had to choose among the following, which would you say is the most important reason why you are pleased that Harriet Miers' nomination was withdrawn -- her views are too conservative, her views are not conservative enough, she does not have strong enough qualifications to serve on the Supreme Court, or she is too close to George W. Bush personally?

Too conservative 8
Not conservative enough 4
No strong qualifications 49
Too close to Bush 35
No opinion 4

My key issues being qualifications and cronyism, closely followed by wanting a serious judge who will defend, not amend the Constitution. But this strongly reflects the right way of approaching the issue.
