Wouldn't the smart thing be for the White House to announce Harriet Miers' withdrawal at the same time that Patrick Fitzgerald announces his indictments?

That won't happen until the indictments are given. The next nomination will be timed to bury the indictments in the news cycle. Although, who he's going to nominate is a gaping question. Does he want a fight with conservatives? Or liberals?
...Or does he even know?

I hear nothing's going to happen until next year.
His best bet would be to name John Cornyn.
