Say a Prayer for the Religious Right…

Monday, September 17th, 2007

Who will the Evangelical Right vote for this Presidential cycle? They haven’t made up their minds yet, and from all indications don’t have any one candidate that they are gravitating to. In 2004, 4 of 5 Evangelicals voted for George W. Bush. This Presidential cycle, they have been left wanting.

Bush Nominates Mukasey for AG

WASHINGTON (AP) - Former federal judge Michael Mukasey, picked by President Bush to replace Alberto Gonzales as attorney general, appears unlikely to face a bruising confirmation battle in the Democratic-controlled Senate.

Mukasey handled high-profile terrorism cases as chief judge of the federal courthouse in Manhattan for six years. His selection was to be announced by Bush at midday Monday in a Rose Garden ceremony.

Mukasey, 66, currently serves as a judicial adviser to GOP presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani.

Myway

What are everyone’s thoughts on this nomination? All I know about the guy is what I read today. There seems to be mixed feelings on him. Some notable conservatives are fine with the choice. On the other hand, he seems to have gotten a lot of praise from left wing groups and extremist left wing politicians like Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Based on what I have read I am satisfied with the choice thus far.
