...wasn't pretty for Democrats. After three days of testimony, Judge Samuel Alito appears headed for confirmation to replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court, and already political operatives on the Hill have turned to damage control and exploitation. Around the hearing room in the Hart Office Building on Capitol Hill, Republicans are patting themselves on the back for their successful defense of the nominee, and are talking cheerfully of their expected victory on the Senate floor later this month. Democrats are licking their self-inflicted wounds, trying to figure out if they can somehow turn the timing...
...lifetime's work has boiled down to one public performance this week on Capitol Hill. For months now, Senators from both parties have said Alito's fate hangs not on his record, but on how he does in the Judiciary Committee hearings that opened Monday at noon in the Hart Senate office building.

When the Administration said money was tight, the policy experts scoured the NGO world and came back touting small programs with clear ways to measure progress. When the issue of corruption was raised, DATA proposed a scheme to nurture...
...debt cancellation, and DATA lobbied the White House to be an active partner, reminding it that Blair had stood by the Administration in the past. To their surprise, they didn't have to do much pitching. Over beers with some friends from the Treasury Department, Drummond, Hart and policy director Erin Thornton actually heard the words "So, tell us why can't we do 100% debt cancellation?" Debt had been presumed a dead issue--"but all of a sudden these guys are telling us they think they've figured it out," says Hart. "We'd completely flipped roles. Very weird...
