Salt Lake Tribune: "Folks across the West pride themselves on their ability to stand on their own. But, if they want to have any say over the way the nation is governed, they are going to have to do a better job of standing together. This recognition has drawn the Democrat who is governor of New Mexico and the Republican who is governor of Utah to join those seeking to revive the Western States Primary. An old brainstorm of former Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, that primary wasn't a big draw in 2000 and didn't even happen in 2004. But 2008, as Utah's Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. and New Mexico's Gov. Bill Richardson see it, is a good chance to try again. We agree. " Thanks to the Western Democrat for the link.
Political Wire: "Robert Novak reports that Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) is interviewing staffers for a presidential campaign. In addition, he says Biden's national ambitions 'may be reflected by a more partisan voting record in the Senate this year. He normally would be considered a probable vote for the Central American Free Trade Agreement, but administration officials have written him off as a 'no' vote.'"
Political Wire: "Former Sen. John Edwards claimed that 'presidential ambitions had nothing to do with his itinerary of Ohio, Michigan, Arizona, and New Mexico,' the Toledo Blade reports. Said Edwards: 'My campaign now is not a political campaign. It's a campaign to end poverty in this country.'"
