'Holding hearings into Afghanistan damages...who exactly?'
democrats of course ... trust me, this will be a front and center talking point
I agree that things will shake out along partisan lines, however ...
it's the ever elusive and ill defined 'undecideds' or swing voters that will be the target audience as part of the political calculation
I say elusive because people tend to play possum when they're polled in election run-ups
