It's very telling that not a single Republican US Senator called for her
withdrawal.

They didn't come right out and say "get a new candidate"...but they sent
pretty strong signals:

"Sens. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., have asked the
White House to release more information on the nonlegal work Miers has
performed there over the past five years.

Brownback, a Judiciary Committee member, cited concerns he had about Miers'
views on affirmative action following reports that she supported diversity
and numerical set-asides when she was president of the State Bar of Texas. "

It's very telling that not a single Republican US Senator called for her
withdrawal. The fight against here was led by the extreme right-wing of
the Republican party, and it is a shame that Bush pays any attention to
those lunatics.

Here you go!
