The Seattle Times: Postman on Politics:

"The president-elect of the Christian Coalition quit this week after 'he realized he would be unable to broaden the organization's agenda beyond opposing abortion and gay marriage.'"

Amazing--The Christian Coalition cold shoulders poverty and saving the environment. At least the president-elect of the CC stood on his principles.

Beyond the tipping point - National Journal - MSNBC.com:

"Until mid-September, House Republicans' built-in advantages appeared strong enough to protect their majority, despite the electorate's increasingly anti-Republican mood. The GOP had few vulnerable open seats, most of its incumbents were skilled at waging hard-hitting campaigns, and the party seemed to have plenty of time and money to defend its most-endangered seats.

Now, in the final days before Tuesday's election, Democrats are poised to take control of the House by flipping more than the necessary 15 seats. And the real question doesn't seem to be whether they will succeed but how large their majority will be. A Democratic edge of five to 10 seats, perhaps more, looks probable."

Things are looking good. Let's hope that there is NOT an 11th hour collapse..I am REALLY looking forward to Tuesday night!

Military papers: ‘Rumsfeld must go’ - Politics - MSNBC.com

Military papers: ‘Rumsfeld must go’ - Politics - MSNBC.com:

"Just days after President Bush publicly affirmed Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's job security through the end of his term, a family of publications catering to the military will publish an editorial calling for the defense secretary's removal.

The editorial, released to NBC News on Friday ahead of its Monday publication date, stated, 'It is one thing for the majority of Americans to think Rumsfeld has failed. But when the nation's current military leaders start to break publicly with their defense secretary, then it is clear that he is losing control of the institution he ostensibly leads.'

The editorial will appear just one day before the midterm election, in which GOP candidates have been losing ground, according to recent polls."

Why now? Why not calling for his head months, even years ago? when the band wagon gets rolling, everyone is getting on board! Finally!
