Digby: "This is so loathesome I am literally sick to my stomach. These kids were hurt in a car accident. Their parents could not afford health insurance --- and sure as hell couldn't get it now with a severely handicapped daughter. And these shrieking wingnut jackasses are harassing their family for publicly supporting the program that allowed the kids to get health care. A program, by the way, which a large number of these Republicans support as well."

Jesus' General: "Answered Mitt: 'You sit down with your attorneys and (they) tell you what you have to do.' Yeah, he went on a bit after that about Iraq and blah, blah, blah, but his first swing was the one that hit it out of the park. You sit down with your attorneys..."

DOJ: "American Electric Power has agreed to cut 813,000 tons of air pollutants annually at an estimated cost of more than $4.6 billion, pay a $15 million penalty, and spend $60 million on projects to mitigate the adverse effects of its past excess emissions. The record settlement was announced today by the Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency. This is the single largest environmental enforcement settlement in history by several measures. For example, it is the largest settlement in terms of the value of injunctive relief, and will result in the largest amount of emission reduction from stationary sources, such as power plants and factories.

From The Denver Post, "Latino leaders in Colorado plan to use Denver's hosting of the 2008 Democratic National Convention as more than a business opportunity, and have started planning to win exposure for social and policy issues, several of the officials said at a gathering Tuesday. One of Denver's most respected Latino advocacy groups, Servicios de La Raza, has teamed with the Colorado Federation for Community Integration with a goal of assembling a state board of officials to lobby Democrats during the convention week and to challenge both parties to consider their social agenda in next year's election season.

Here's a recap of yesterday's Republican presidential debate from CBS. The write:
Republican presidential hopefuls Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani clashed over tax and spending cuts Tuesday, each claiming greater commitment than the other in a debate in the nation's struggling manufacturing heartland...
After months of polite debate sparring, Giuliani and Romney squared off without hesitation, a reflection of their struggle for primacy in the race for their party's presidential nomination. "I cut taxes 23 times. I believe in tax cuts," said Giuliani, former mayor of New York and leader in national Republican polls. Romney in turn criticized his rival for once filing a court challenge to a law that gave President Clinton the right to veto spending items line by line. "I'm in favor of the line item veto," he said, adding he exercised it 844 times while governor of Massachusetts...
The clash was among the most heated of the campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, reflecting a quickening pace as the 2008 caucuses and primaries draw close. It also left Thompson and the other contenders as something of bystanders for the several moments that Romney and Giuliani went at one another.
More on the debate from The Moderate Voice.
