Wow: Paul Mirengoff Says Miers Should Withdraw

Paul Mirengoff says Miers should withdraw. He says Miers’s 1993 speech is the speech of a “liberal.” He is right.

The chorus is growing among pundits: Miers should withdraw. Unfortunately, I still think it won’t make much difference.

UPDATE: Add another voice to the chorus: the speech has caused Captain Ed to officially oppose Miers as well.

  6. The best possible news. I had given up hoping she would withdraw.

    Now get ready for Hewitt etal to blame everyone that had any question at all for her having to withdraw.
