The collapse of the Miers nomination leads me to put another notch on the blogosphere's belt. Right-sphere sites, especially the Corner, were against this nomination from the beginning, and gradually the "meh" factor overwhelmed her, despite having a degree of bona fides in abortion and as an evangelical. It helps that conservative columnists such as George Will also pointed their thumbs down, but I think its fair to say that the right-sphere makes up a significant, or at least significantly vocal, portion of the Republican base, and they made their voices heard. At any rate, the Prez now has a chance to ameliorate that base.
Pluse, Bush Backs Budget Cuts! This keeps up, people are gonna start accusing him of being a Republican...
