HOMEWORK

Hugh Hewitt has a little advice for Collins, Hagel, and Warner: Read Ben Franklin. Hugh ends his post with this observation:

So, after two weeks the debate the Senate GOP has revealed itself as confused about the war, fractured and unlikely to forge anything like the coherent unit the Democrats have been since Jim Jeffords jumped.

But at least this recognition has arrived early. Either it gets an agenda together and sticks with it, agrees among themselves that individual ego-serving free-lancing means the minority for years to come, or it won't be long before the smash-up comes.

And as for the NRSC, it will soon have a choice --if Senators Collins, Hagel or Warner judge themselves the superiors of old Ben.
