- Trent Lott Wins Back Senate Leadership Slot
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  In a leadership vaccuum, the GOP returns to its racist roots. The Grand Old Party of irrelevant racists and homophobes of the early 21st century.

- Now there are seven Senate seats in play
  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  What has changed is Democrats' chances of picking up the all-important sixth seat that would give them a Senate majority. There are now seven GOP seats at risk. So, to take control, Democrats no longer have to run the table while holding all of their own seats.

- Daily Kos: VA-Sen: George F. Allen vs. James H. "Jim" . . . ?
  Posted by Jeff from Dailykos
  More electronic voting B.S.: Democratic candidate Webb will appear with his first name and nickname only -- or "James H. 'Jim' " -- on summary pages in Alexandria, Falls Church and Charlottesville, the only jurisdictions in Virginia that use balloting machines manufactured by Hart InterCivic of Austin. "We're not happy about it," Webb spokeswoman Kristian Denny Todd said last night, adding that the campaign learned about the problem a week ago and has since been in touch with state election officials. "I don't think it can be remedied by Election Day. Obviously, that's a concern."

- Polls: Democrats closer to taking Senate control
  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  A little too much hyperbole here - but seven close races now exist. Dems need six. Lieberman race isn't listed but probably should be - that could be eighth

- Polls Lagging, Lamont Gives Campaign $2M
  Posted by Jeff from CBS News
  Lamont has given $8 million to his campaign. Lamont's personal wealth has been estimated at between $90 million and $300 million, according to his campaign. Kind of sad that the Senate is so expensive to win these days. Government for the rich. It would be great to get rid of Lieberman but I wish it was more grassroots and less Ned's bank.

Democrats May Kick Out Joe Lieberman If He Addresses The Republican National Convention

Addressing the Republican convention would be in the true spirit of "reaching across the aisle"... republicans have been doing it for years and it would be a welcome change.

About time. After the ‘08 elections, we won’t need Joe anymore. If the Republicans can stand him, they can have him.

Democrats' "censure" plan--another cynical diversion of fight against war and reaction

I agree . I think censure will just take away the impeachment option in the mind of the public. Lame Feingold.

Senate to Investigate Walter Reed Scandal

From everything I’ve read the past few years, the problem isn’t just Walter Reed…the entire VA system is underfunded.

When gates says he wants to get to the bottom of this, he must be joking. The problem is the overextension of the U.S. military and the underfunding of veterans affairs by Congress.

It would help if Bush would put forward an honest budget with true accounting for the costs of the Iraq war.

TPMmuckraker has the details on the investigation and a summary of Pentagon response (divided) to the story.

If you missed it – ya need to read it. Very sad. Thousands of soliders waiting for disability rulings. One story is especially painful—how our gov’t went out of its way to say IT wasn’t responsible for the soldier’s disability. Too bad he couldn’t have that decision made by a jury of his peers.

I read another report that says the wounded-killed ratio in this war is the highest ever—10-to-1. Vietnam, reportedly 3-to-1. That means a lot of folks are gonna have lifelong care—and our system isn’t set up to handle it. :-/

Senate gridlocks on Iraq war resolution

Really sad to see that the “world’s greatest deliberative body” can’t manage to deliberate the world’s most important issue.
