TMV was out of pocket most of yesterday and could not watch the hearings on television. He could listen to news radio and (God save him) liberal and conservative talk radio with the predictable spin — each side saying how well their team was doing.
One thread that seemed to come through on radio news reports and most talk radio shows: yesterday was perhaps not the best day in terms of public relations for the Democrats. People can argue whether that’s the way it should be or not, but the consensus seemed to be that the Democrats’ case so far is pleasing party partisans but not necessarily scoring significantly beyond that. Time (and polls) will tell.
