There will be no reunification. The bile and hatred directed at Ms. Miers has created a permanent rift. Even now, on this thread, after she has withdrawn, there are people calling her a lesbian. I have seen people call her a pig and worse. I will NEVER side with such people, no matter if they are on the Left or the Right.
More to the point: From now on, any candidate for public office who prances around either calling himself a "real" conservative or courting same will not get my vote.
