Today, I'm on the road and off the grid. Back here on Monday.
In the meantime, a question to consider: Should the Senate Republicans launch a scorched-earth assault on Sonia Sotomayor (whose confirmation hearing begins on Monday), if only to serve up red meat to their famished conservative base - or should they tread carefully next week, mindful of the backlash that might occur, among Hispanic and female voters, if they're perceived as beating up on a "well qualified" (the highest American Bar Association rating) Hispanic female?
