Political Wire: "Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) 'apparently enjoyed New Hampshire so much when he visited last month that he plans to return in the fall,' the Manchester Union Leader reports. 'We've confirmed that Bayh, a possible 2008 Presidential contender, will be the featured speaker at the state Democratic Party's Jefferson-Jackson fund-raiser on Oct. 29 at the Center of New Hampshire Radisson Hotel. It's an important fund-raiser for state Dems, second only to the 100 Club event held each winter.'"
Opinions You Should Have: "The White House announced today that President Bush would henceforth determine the scientific curriculum to be taught in America's schools. The announcement came immediately after Bush endorsed the teaching of intelligent design...Dr. James Dobson, founder of the rightwing Christian group Focus on the Family, applauded Bush's plans to eliminate scientists from science. 'It just puts all four of my humours into complete harmony,' he said. Critics were less sanguine, however. 'If George Bush is for teaching intelligent design in schools,' said Professor and biologist Byron Glick, 'it proves that there isn't any.'"
Political Wire: "'Jockeying for the 2008 Iowa Caucauses has started as political advertisements hit the airwaves,' KETV-7 reports. One TV commercial says that New York Gov. George Pataki (R) is 'thinking about running for president, and the ad is running this week in central Iowa.' The advertisements comes as several potential candidates, including Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN), Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) and Pataki, make trips to the state."
The Moderate Voice: "This is nice. As reported by Media Matters, Focus on the Family's James Dobson, one of the leading figures on the evangelical right, recently compared stem-cell research to Nazi experimentation on living human beings."
