Miers nomination withdrawn.

Good. He read Tony Blankley's piece from yesterday:

"But I believe four actions could rally the troops to a year of loyal and
mostly principled partisan battle on behalf of their president.

First, withdraw the unfortunate nomination of Miss Miers.

Second, he should delay pushing for guest worker law changes -- and instead
move full speed ahead with legislation and policies to secure the border

Third, he should rally his base by fighting for serious budget cuts to
offset the necessary increases in defense and disaster relief spending

Fourth, political expediency requires him to get on the right side of gas
prices. When the eye-popping third quarter oil company profits are
announced -- he must jawbone the oil executives to start re-investing that
money.

If the president were to make these four bold corrections, virtually his
entire base would snap back to his side to do noble and fierce battle on his
behalf. He would not only be substantially true to his party's principles,
but he would move from about 40 percent to about 48 percent in the polls --
a critical increase. "
