I've never seen anything like it.

For most folks, no news is good news; for the press, good news is not news.

They knew that they had to grab this reform mantle or they would be steam rolled by the Democrats on the corruption issue.

There are very conservative libertarian Republicans who agree with liberal Democrats that you have to pay attention to civil liberties and balance that with national security. That's very tough to do.

They wanted a symbol. They wanted someone who openly supported their views of the Supreme Court. But they know nothing about her judicial philosophy.

They don't want to think that, Bob. And they know that that would be a real uphill fight for the Democrats, but they're beginning to believe that this smells really, really badly for them, and they're very, very worried about it now because they know they cannot depend on this president and his coattails any longer.
