The wrong kind of conservative, IMHO, is how I would define most republican candidates these days. People who are big-government, Christian-right fundies imposing their "values" on the rest of us. If Bush likes her "values", it doesn't bode well for how she'd vote on anything to do with gay marriage or a woman's right to choose.

The "right kind of conservative", IMHO, would be one that thinks gov't should have less power, not more, to determine how we live our lives.

You can say all the lofty statements you like about interpreting what actually is or is not laid out in the Constitution, but interpretation is just that, and personal beliefs do figure at least somewhat into the process.

However, like everyone, I don't really know *anything* about her, so she may very well be perfect for the job, we just don't know.
