He wanted Mier, no doubt in my mind, and with his arrogance he thought everyone would jump on her bandwagon since he is the mighty GWB. The idea that he would name mier just so he could name the guy all the right wings wanted in the first place makes zero sense.

While I believe he wanted a judge that would do his bidding forever such as Miers it is very difficult to bash 2 nominees in a row. Luckily though most dems never had to speak out about the obvious incestly nomination in Miers since his own supporters did that.
I think Miers was obviously his first choice. Who wouldn't want their very own puppet on the court? I also believe that Rove was 2 steps ahead and instead of stopping the obvious blunder allowed Dubya to nominate her in order to make the arguement against HIS real choice more difficult.
