We read stories like this and (a)shudder, (b)realize that any strategy he embraces is likely to be the worst one possible, one that will boomerang on the GOP: 'Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said Sunday he is prepared to strip Democrats of their to ability to filibuster if they try to stall Samuel Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court.'"
Iraq the Model: "The voting has begun...The political bodies used SMS technology for campaigning for the first time; more than 20 lists and parties sent hundreds of thousands of messages via cell phones throughout the country; I for instance received one of those messages."

Mark Warner of Virginia has begun a major foray onto the national stage, raising millions of dollars for his likely presidential bid and visiting states already being courted by potential 2008 contenders,' the New York Times reports.

At the same time, he has emphasized themes like fiscal discipline, school accountability, the streamlining of government services and gun rights.'"
