The interesting thing about this race is the fact that the Republicans had to dump tons of money into the race to help the person they didn’t even really want. With them having to do that, it shows you how scared they really are about losing Senate this fall.
OH how I hate being busy and missing out on good stories like this: Pres. Bush is unpopular. This is not news. A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll out this week shows just 41% of Americans approve of his handling of the job, while 55% disapprove. What’s more interesting, though, is that, when asked if Bush […]

The National Republican […]

The speech was his latest effort in several days to mark the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks by framing […]
TPM Cafe has obtained a letter written by Clinton’s attorneys and sent to ABC regarding the 9/11 docu-drama. Here are a few key parts of it: Despite several requests to view the miniseries, we have not been given the courtesy of seeing it.

I know people hated the anti-spam image required for entering comments and many times it didn’t even show up. Today I finally got rid of it and put a new system in to help combat spam.
