Time's Jay Newton-Small noted a typographical oddity.

Hotline's Josh Kraushaar felt Chris Van Hollen's pain.
First Charlie Rangel with defiant pushback, now Maxine Waters live on cable TV with unconvincing defense... not what CVH wants to see.

NBC's Andrea Mitchell compared apples to oranges, concluded both will lose in November.

The Washington Post's Karen Tumulty handed out a piece of unsolicited advice.
Maxine Waters says people should "set aside their cynicism." Never a good idea in Washington. No matter how cynical u get, u can't keep up.
