Afternoon Update

Ilsa, I think our readership has dropped to just you and me. Now I know what it feels like to work for the Trib. Sigh.

Anyhow, here's a roundup of stuff that happened this afternoon.

There's always at least one, right: Treasury nominee Timothy Geithner has some housekeeper and tax-payment issues.

On the upside, in HRC's testimony, she seems to have scored one of the Left's first ever framing victories, calling the complex foreign policy stuff, you know diplomacy, "Smart Power." It seems to be catching on.

In an Esquire piece, Huckabee came out swinging against both Palin (on the Couric interview: "I can't explain it. It was not a good interview. I'm being charitable.") and Romney. Salon thinks he's already gearing up for 2012.

Then there's this on our countries shifting demographics. Bottom line: unless the GOP becomes more attractive to a broader base, shifting demographics will make them obsolete.
