Political Wire: "'With a possible eye toward the 2008 presidential race,' Virginia Gov. Mark Warner (D) 'has opened a federal fund-raising committee and hired a former consultant to Al Gore to try to elevate his national profile,' the New York Times reports."
Oval Office 2008: "Another key factor for Hagel could be that, despite his friendship with McCain, he was not one of the 14 Senators signing up to McCain's filibuster compromise deal - indeed he was openly critical of it - which avoids an association that might be unpalatable to many social conservatives."
The Moderate Voice: "We've put in our posts here a statement that Democratic fundraising is lagging under Howard Dean but Media Matters says that is not the case and they've documented it...So we do stand corrected on that one.

Oval Office 2008: "Anyway, one bookmaker seems already to be counting out Massachusetts Senator and 2004 nominee John Kerry, according to the Boston Herald. The Herald reports that SportsInteraction.com has placed Kerry ninth in its list of... err... nine candidates for the Democratic nomination. Kerry trails behind Clinton, Edwards, Bayh, Vilsack, Richardson, Obama and, wait for it, Tom Daschle. (That's only eight, I know - the Herald says it's nine)."
Daily Kos: "People are upset because Dean spoke the truth about the GOP? That it's become primarily a white Christian party?"
