Now, the question of the day:


How long will Owens wait before withdrawing her nomination?

Surely, she sees the handwriting on the wall--that her nomination, too, will get little support.

How long will Owens wait before withdrawing her nomination?

I see your point, but Owens is in a substantially different situation: she's already a judge. She doesn't have to trim down substantially what she does or says, as Estrada has had to do with his law business, while awaiting (and awaiting ... and awaiting) a floor vote.
