I think I am finally starting to see what all the anger is about. It's not just that the right wants a conservative, rather, the right wants a conservative and a fight. The right wants to not just get their person on the SCOTUS, they want to nominate a person the left can't stand and shove it down the left's throat. Is this accurate?

For some, yeah. For most, it's like, we've been waiting for this chance for eons, it's THE most important change Bush can make, and the idea that we should take a chance that Bush (and Bush alone) "knows her heart" - that fries us. There's too much at stake to just trust him on this. This is The Big Chance, and the people who we thought of as being the best nominees would have, by definition, provoked a fight, but the fight ain't the thing - it's just a symptom.
