A busy week I suppose, even though Congress is not in session.
It's an old trick (Kerry did it in 2004), but a good one. Give Obama your email or cell phone number, and you'll be told the VP choice first. Along with millions of others. It's a tie.
Georgia is in the coalition of the willing, but it's 2000 troops are being withdrawn from Iraq so they can fight against Russia.
Meanwhile, McCain thinks this was is good for his electoral chances. This statement is actually one of the weirdest and most heated statements I've heard from McCain.
"Today, many are dead and Georgia is in crisis, yet the Obama campaign has offered nothing more than cheap and petty political attacks that are echoed only by the Kremlin," said McCain aide Tucker Bounds in the statement. "The reaction of the Obama campaign to this crisis, so at odds with our democratic allies and yet so bizarrely in sync with Moscow, doesn't merely raise questions about Sen. Obama's judgment -- it answers them."
So does McCain want to go to war with Russia? Is that it?
Howard Wolfsen thinks that Clinton would have won Iowa if John Edwards hadn't covered up his affair. We'll never know.
Jared Polis in CO-02 has some momentum going into this week's primary.
"Jared has proven that environmental concerns are at the top of his agenda and that we can trust his stances are not just lip service," said Jones, stressing she was endorsing as an individual, not as a representative of any organization. "He will stay true to his word while serving us in Washington."
The Republicans pushed a censure resolution against Charlie Rangel for having four rent-controlled apartments. It failed. Rangel wants the ethics committee to investigate.
Harry Reid is promising a hectic fall session, even though there's no continuing resolution in place to fund the government and the Republicans are going to shut it down unless they are allowed to attach their drilling desires to the resolution. Expect the gang of 10 to be featured heavily. Doesn't DC have an anti-gang ordinance in effect?
