Kerry Is Huddling With Obama

Kerry just went over and sat with Obama, who will be the next Democrat to question Petraeus and Crocker after Sens. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) and Laura Murkowski (R-Alaska). The photographers went nuts, since it gave them a chance to get Kerry and Obama in one frame. I will ask each man what the other said when I get a chance.

Also, let me note that Republicans are leaving the hearing after they ask their questions, although Democrats have stayed put. Hagel, Coleman, Corker and Sununu have all departed, while among Democrats, the only one who looks like he left is Feingold.
