Data update: RNC weekly strategy conference call, on Miers

The previous RNC weekly strategy conference call transcription is interesting - there's lots of Dobson milage in here. Crooks and Liars has the original mp3 here. What's most interesting is that the first big concern is whether will she ever change her mind about anything, ever. One participant talks about how she voted for a local tax increase in a city council vote as a worrying example of changing her mind; they got lots of reassurances that she won't. Also "troubling" that she isn't stridently against "gay adoption;" reassurances that she's not really for it are offered, and a Miers defender also notes that on Texas's sodomy law: "She said she would not repeal it - I thought that said a lot about her view on that issues, in the right way," and talks about how she said there was a "legitimate reason to have these kinds of things."

There seems to be very little doubt that she's a solid anti-Roe vote on the court; that she might not vote to overturn Roe doesn't even come up as a question. It's all about "might she ever change her mind," concerns that she might "grow in office" (their words, not mine), and whether she's likely to be soft on fags.

Anyway, you can listen to it for yourself, assuming it doesn't get yanked.
