Representatives from eight national law enforcement organizations endorsed Sotomayor, and the White House touted the support as proof that she'll be tough, but fair, on crime. "These groups know her record on crime: as a prosecutor and then on the federal bench, Judge Sotomayor has always been both fair and tough, and has followed the rule of law at every turn," the White House said in a statement.

John McCain is endorsing Gov. Charlie Crist in his campaign for U.S. Senate. The Charlie Crist for Senate Campaign made the announcement Wednesday morning. "Today I am pleased to endorse Charlie Crist for the United States Senate," said Senator McCain. "Now more than ever, we need leaders who are committed to lower taxes, limiting government spending, and fighting for the people are needed in Washington."

In an interview on CNN's "No Bias, No Bull" Wednesday night, the daughter of Arizona Sen. John McCain said she couldn't "possibly make a prediction about 2012 right now."

Even those who prefer Republican Jim Gilmore’s platform say they like Democrat Mark Warner’s persona. We agree. How, then, to choose? Here’s one way: This year’s top voter concern, no surprise, is the economy. And on that measure, Mr. Gilmore’s principles and, yes, even his well-known stubbornness will better serve Virginia in the U.S. Senate.

Barack Obama and the other Democrats on the ticket is to read endorsements for them, read their own campaign literature and, of course, listen to some of their wild, wacky, off-the-wall ideas that come forth in speeches and interviews. Take endorsements for Sen. Obama, where you would expect to find closely reasoned, well-documented conclusions. But you'll find the same hot air, the same glittering but meaningless generalities, the same oratorical gobbledygook that makes up Sen. Obama's speeches. Take the recent endorsement of Sen.

The doctrine required what was euphemistically called “equal time” which forced us in turn to listen to liberal propaganda in an “equal time” answer to conservative commentary. The Liberals hated Ronald Reagan for ending their scam. They can’t compete with conservative ideas in a free marketplace and they know it. For 20 years Liberals have waited for their chance to force us back to a Soviet style government controlled media. They...
