I'm with Mikado. Miers is when he lost Republicans. Up until that point, they had supported him through everything, even when Dems and Indies turned against him.

Actually, thinking about it more, I think the defeat of his Social Security privatization might be it. That was really the first time since 9/11 that he had lost a political battle, and he expended pretty much all of his remaining political capital on it. After he gave up on privatizing social security, he became a lame duck.
