Online columnist Ryan Sager called the Martinez selection a “Harriet Miers moment,” drawing comparisons to Bush’s abortive 2005 nomination of his White House counsel for the Supreme Court.

By selecting Martinez, “Bush is picking someone again based almost entirely on loyalty to the Bush clan,” Sager said. “This isn’t the George Bush Republican Party anymore. This party is about 2008 and where we go from here.”
