If the "cliff" talks have one major advantage for President Obama, it's that they are blowing Benghazi off the media's radar screen. UN Ambassador Susan Rice's little coffee clatches with senators obvioiusly didn't go well. My takeaway is that at some point they caught her in what they know to be a lie. We'll see. Wisconsin's Ron Johnson isn't letting up on this issue either. 

Clearly, Johnson's takeaway from the Senate briefing is there's a lot more there there. I also believe Republicans are right in saying any nominee for State will be blocked until there are answers given.
