Bush won't withdraw the nomination, and if I read her correctly, neither will Miers. He is loyal to his personal friends, if not his supporters, and she is exceedingly stubborn and determined.
She will pretty certainly be confirmed unless something really bad comes out in the hearings, which I really don't expect. She is too much of a professional, too skilled at getting along with people, for that to be at all likely.

You sure about that? She might not get out of the Senate judiciary committe. Republicans have a 10-8 head count advantage over the Dems, but if, what?, just one Republican doesn't vote to let her out, and all Dems are against her, then the nomination is killed.
