I've actually met her numerous times-was on speaker phone conference yesterday in fact. She has been a moderate Republican all her life and is much less an ideologue. She broke barriers such as leadership in Dallas Bar Association and Texas Bar Association her entire life in the legal profession. Right wing Republicans are the ones who derailed her candidacy and that should be a big hint. She likely would have aligned roughly with Sandra Day O'Connor
