In other notes:<br /><br />Matthew Barrett's replacement will be decided on Tuesday. Redfern states that there are multiple qualified candidates, including elected officials with high name ID, who are interested in running.<br /><br />Redfern first mentions Barrett and Dann, then pauses to introduce Rich Cordray, then goes back to talking about Barrett and Dann. Hidden message? I'll have audio later.<br /><br />The Women's Caucus had a concurring opinion inserted in the resolution, which could have been <a href="http://www.writeslikeshetalks.com/2008/05/05/redux-my-letter-to-odp-chair-redfern-that-people-said-wouldnt-matter/">written by Jill</a>. Um, Jill...?<br /><br />The 5/4 <a href="http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2008/05/05/dannlettertext.html?sid=101">letter from the bigwigs</a> was read in its entirety before the resolution that, among other things, expressed total support for the letter. This seems to be a return to the tough talk on impeachment (although "immediately" is apparently a vaguer term than many realize). In <a href="http://phosnorkapages.blogspot.com/2008/05/marcs-mess-we-have-to-wait-for-fifth.html">Pho's terms</a>, the letter was a big bet. Still in those terms, I thought it was all-in, which is a big difference in terms of how the hand plays out. I'm starting to think that this same difference in perception exists elsewhere.bonobohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08241279987882052237noreply@blogger.com4
