Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was spotted Tuesday at the law offices of Patton Boggs paying a visit to Robert Luskin, the eccentric....

Fox news just reported (via announcment with Dennis Hassert) that Roy Blunt will be taking over for Delay in the short term (while he is fighting the charges).

Last month's GOP primary straw poll got over 17,000 votes (!) and provided reams of state-by-state and blog-by-blog data to chew over. This month's poll has all the features you know and love -- the results by blog referrer, the state data -- plus this twist: you can now "tag" your vote, like you'd tag a blog entry in Technorati or a photo in Flickr. Tired of meaningless poll questions that don't ask about things you really care about? Want to get across what really drives you, and find what others exactly like you think? Then tagging is perfect. If...

Fox News just announced before going to break that Leahy is going to vote yes on Roberts.

The story of Marine Staff Sgt. Robert Arellano's wound is not exactly heroic. He was sitting in a tent in southern Iraq when the 9mm handgun he was repairing went off, sending a bullet through his left leg. advertisement That's why his heart sank in spring 2003, when he heard that he would receive the Purple Heart as he recovered at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda.

Back in his day, Iraqis were free to vote in one-party elections, and did so with such zeal that he once won 104 percent of the vote. When the Americans arrived almost two years ago, most Iraqis had high hopes for much better. Now every major poll shows an ever-larger majority of Iraqis want the Americans to leave. In next week's elections, not a single major candidate is campaigning on a pro-American platform. Mostly, Iraqis miss the freedom to read by electric light, or to bathe with running water—which were in extremely short supply in Baghdad the past week. Compared...

“Turn ’em on, Fire Watch. Turn the lights on,” he shouted, as he and the other drill instructors stormed between the bunks, yelling at the young recruits to get up and face another grueling day. And they had better move fast, fast, fast! For the next several minutes, the recruits counted off, put on their fatigues, boots and caps — performing each task on command, always being yelled at, constantly shouting back at the top of their lungs, "Aye, sir!" Next, they would make their bunks — exactly right — and sweep the squad room, crawling along the floor like...

The poll asks who is the weasel and it includes topic choices like Bush, sKerry, Dan Blather, Haliburton, etc. Lets freep it!

CLEVELAND - Lawyers from John Kerry’s presidential campaign are scrutinizing the results of voting in Ohio, but the campaign said the effort is not aimed at changing the outcome of the election. "While the outcome of the election is not in doubt, no one cares more about voting irregularities than John Kerry and John Edwards,” Kerry campaign spokesman David Wade said in describing what he called a “fact-finding mission” in Ohio. “They remain committed to their pledge that every vote be counted, that's why they built an unprecedented 17,000 lawyer voter protection team to ensure that every American's rights are...

NEW YORK - Bev Harris, the Blackbox lady, was apparently quoted in a number of venues during the day Monday as having written “I was tipped off by a person very high up in TV that the news has been locked down tight, and there will be no TV coverage of the real problems with voting on Nov. 2… My source said they’ve also been forbidden to talk about it even on their own time.” I didn’t get the memo. We were able to put together a reasonably solid 15 minutes or so on the voting irregularities in Florida and...

God answered our prayers about providing us a leader who would not waiver and would honor him. God answered our prayers during the initial phases of Iraqi Freedom where we went in and did our job with few casualties. I am asking all of us who pray, to seek that God will allow this to end with the least ammount of casualties possible. For the outcome to be decisive and one which turns the tide of the "insurgency" in a positive manner. We, here and in other places across the country held prayer vigils for the election. Should we not...

Kerry and Bush strategists largely agree on the battlefield, and who is winning in each state -- save Ohio. While the Bush campaign says it is winning Ohio, Kerry's internal polling shows the president losing by about five points and fading, according to two aides. Kerry will campaign in Ohio this weekend and many more times before election day. The Kerry campaign is confident that it is winning Pennsylvania and Michigan by comfortable margins and pulling slightly ahead in Florida, a must-win state for Bush. The Kerry campaign's polling shows Bush leading in Iowa and West Virginia, and running about...

TEMPE, Ariz. (Reuters) - President Bush moved into a slim one-point lead over Democratic Sen. John Kerry in a tight White House race, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Thursday.

Okay guys, lets take a trip down memory lane. If I remember correctly in 2000, this is almost exactly what the MSM media did to Bush the first time. They said he screwed up, blew it. Lets review the facts of what really happened in the debate. -Bush did not land a knock out punch, but did not have to. (I know we all wanted him to) -Kerry was constantly on the attack and did NOT offer any plan. It was one attack after another. There was no substance to it at all. -Bush stayed focused on the one message...

And in 1980, when Americans seemed to have made up their minds about not voting for President Jimmy Carter, they needed to be assured that his opponent, Republican Ronald Reagan was more than a dangerous ideologue or a Grade B actor. Reagan delivered one of the great knockout blows in presidential debate history: “Are you better off than you were fours ago?”

A draft wouldn’t sit well with many college students who were polled at random on Wednesday in Springfield. "I'm not for the draft," said one. "It would be very scary and difficult to accept,” said another. It also wouldn’t sit well with some parents. "I'm not going to send them off to war,” said Valerie Griffin. “It's ridiculous. If they choose to go to the military, that's their choice." Griffin opposes the idea of her sons being sent off to war as mandated by the government, a concern sparked by an e-mail message. "I was panicked," she said. The e-mail...
