I know what they are capable of, what they beleive, and if they can do the job I want for them. Or do I go with unknowns who are recommended to me? I would probably opt to go with those I knew. I think anyone would.

I think the defining factor is, are the people you know
qualified. In the case of Brown, it certainly doesn't look like it. In the case of Miers, who the hell knows.
