He's getting a lot of support... I don't see him sunk at all.

Rush supports him, really unilaterrally, (almost) all of the Conservative media is supporting him. Scalia's former law firm? And this episode looks so contrived. It's like the Democrats don't have a soul.  She is being exposed almost by the hour.

A day or two back I gave his chances about 50-50.
Today, I'd reckon they've sunk a bit to 40-60.

It's all up to Grassley and his crew now.
Will he demand she appear and testify on his terms?
Or... will he cave and let the other side define the battlefield?

If he caves... the odds will have turned against Kavanaugh, and he'll be lucky to get through it.

I think the Repubs need to stand up, this is a hill to fight it out on.... I think his chances are still good, I don't see the gloominess at all. Assuming she testifies... and in the very near future, no time after next week.

She deserves no investigation. She's given them nothing to investigate because her claims are so vague. That's even if it was their jurisdiction.

I'd flat tell her it's Monday or nothing, or the vote goes down, so he can start the new SCOTUS term Oct. 1.
The Republic is lost.

Since when does some screwball leftist woman get to derail the nomination of a SC justice because of something she claims happened more than three decades ago?
She then sets out a list of demands before she testifies like she's running the show.
Enough of this farce.

She'll be there Monday.  This was the plan all along....   Now the entire world will be watching and all she has to do it cry....then point her finger at him...that he's the one that did it to her.  Game set and match...   It's over....  This has been brilliantly played....

Read elsewhere that the Pubbies are talking about capitulating and postponing the Ford hearing date.

See my Reply 28 above.

Repubs should get one person to ask her questions..preferably a woman who was once a prosecutor

Not good optics to have a whole bunch of men asking questions to a poor defenseless almost rape victim............/s

How about a woman who was once personal secretary to POTUS, such as, oh, his wife?

Didn't find out how old his daughters are.  If they're old enough, might be nice to have them sit in next to mom.

I voted no, but would have chose 'will testilie on camera on the Capitol steps'.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Why are there "negotiations?"  I thought  Grassley was going to insist she show up Monday without preconditions or the vote on Judge Kavanaugh's elevation to SCOTUS would go forward. 

That Republicans are considering "negotiating" with this chippy sounds like they are caving.  Caving is what they do best.

Congress: Ok, Ms. Ford here is your chance to set the record straight. Tell us what happened.
Ford: Nothing...
Congress: What do you mean, nothing? Nothing happened?
Ford: No...
Congress: Then why are you here?
Ford: If you don't know I'm not going to tell you.
Congress: Were you at a party 37 years ago with Mr. Kavanaugh?
Ford: If you say so.
Congress: Did you know Mr. Kavanaugh in high school when he was 17 years old?
Ford: Maybe.
Congress: Listen Ms. Ford you are testifying before Congress. You are not my wife! You have to give real answers.
Ford: Why is everybody harassing me! I feel like I am being assaulted!
