The Unrevealed Variable

Through the morning we’ve had endless commentary about last night’s speeches on both sides of the aisle, and a litany of supposedly disinterested pundit commentary, largely amounting to nonsense. But through the morning we’ve also had repeated reports of overwhelmed congressional phone switchboards and websites. Seemingly email boxes too. And yet we’ve had relatively little clarity on who’s calling, emailing and pinging who and what they’re saying. That sounds to me like the big story. But no one has a clear answer. So there’s little discussion of it.
