I've been out of pocket pretty much since the first sketchy reports this morning about a possible school shooting. A meeting, a luncheon and then 6 hours in the car. The car ride was enlightening because I followed the details of the Connecticut school shooting exclusively...

Embattled U.N. envoy Susan Rice is dropping out of the running to be the next secretary of state after months of criticism over her Benghazi comments, she told NBC News on Thursday. “If nominated, I am now convinced that the confirmation process would be lengthy, disruptive and costly – to you and to our most pressing national and international priorities,” Rice wrote in a letter to President Obama, saying she’s saddened by the partisan politics surrounding her prospects. “That trade-off is simply not worth it to our country...Therefore, I respectfully request that you no longer consider my candidacy at this time,” she wrote in the letter obtained by NBC News.The letter is embedded at the bottom of this post. The reactions are pouring in on Twitter:
OMG! Why is Susan Rice so racist?!?!?RT @jedediahbila: Susan Rice has withdrawn her name for consideration as Secretary of State.

Big win for John McCain. Almost as big as stopping the repeal of Don't Ask/Don't Tell & blocking ratification of New START. Pop the cork.

Yay Scott Brown!
