Miers defenders wake up and realize that this criticism of Miers is not so insignificant fringe. Our base has a historical proclivity to stay home when they feel shafted or ignored. Believe me, they have in the past and will again if things continue on course. Why this entirely possible (perhaps probable) danger isn't appreciated by the WH, is completely beyond me.
