Let's face it. When you're the governor of New York and even mentioned as a presidential candidate, you're going to be under an enormous microscope.

What they've done, at least, is to give themselves a little breathing room from what was going to be a really ugly confrontation, and one that was a complete lose-lose for Republicans, no matter what.

There is extreme nervousness about November. The last thing that members want is to be out there in a tough campaign, where the wind is at your face, defending the indefensible.

Even if [Republicans] were willing to stick a finger in his eye, they won't hold the searching oversight hearings now on how this whole thing came about.

Some members are pulling the blanket over their heads and hoping the storm will pass. For others, there is also a genuine belief that if you just jump in a spasm of reaction, you could do some things detrimental to a good deliberative process.

If we're going to end up with a lower turnout special election, that's one in which a Republican may be able to do a little better. But I've got to believe that you're still going to see a backlash. If the special election takes place around the time that indictments are handed down, it's going to be bad news for Republicans.

What she did just makes you cringe. It's clearly unethical by any standard.

We build people up who have positions of power or visibility and venerate them and then have to show they have feet of clay.

There's no question that it will hurt him and it will hurt him significantly. He's still getting the solid support from his base. The question now is whether his performance with the hurricane begins to affect his performance with his base.

That would have been a big plus for the president. You get the blame when you're the top dog. And in this case, I think there is no doubt that we had inadequate preparation and we've had inadequate response.

Having a lot of time left as president is a good thing for him, because it gives him the opportunities and time to get out of some of these holes.

Even if the reality is, there's nothing more that he could have done back in Washington or anywhere else ... the symbol matters.

I think it's clear we're in damage control now.

By any standard this is a low point. It will be interesting to see if Bush goes for a conservative, in-your-face appointment to the Supreme Court to rally the base, which has been more critical than before but has not turned on him.

I think Specter is going to be protective of Roberts against what he thinks are intrusive questions. But if he thinks Roberts is not even beginning to address larger questions of philosophy of judging, then I think he'll be unhappy.
