At that point, he seemed a bit quiet and shy. However, I've been very impressed with him over the last few months.

arrogant, self-serving etc etc. Glad he's expanding into his role as a powerful, focused Democrat!

I don't know how many people are watching this hearing, but I bet those of us (namely, me!!) who are experiencing him for the first time today are (a) really impressed with his smarts and (b) will not forget him anytime soon!
