The biggest story of the day...

...is buried deep within Ben Smith's blog in Politico.com. Tom Coburn, the conservative Republican senator from Oklahoma, told an angry town hall crowd,

...don't catch yourself being biased by Fox News...

What?

And this is shortly after David Frum said,

Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us and now we're discovering we work for Fox.

Could these be the first glimmers of hope in the GOP?

I still think the Republicans will gain seats in the midterms (although not control of either chamber), emboldening them to nominate someone acceptable to the base who will go down in flames in 2012. Only then can the party engage in the serious soul-searching that will lead to a more moderate GOP.

But this is how it starts.
