Joe Lieberman's identity crisis continues. Now, not only is he not a Democrat (sort of...) he can't even answer whether he'll vote for Connecticut Democrats in November, or, for that matter, whether it would be better for the country if Democrats control Congress after November 7th.
Meanwhile, if you missed the Meet the Press debate between Minnesota Senate candidates Kennedy and Klobuchar, you missed a man getting his clock thoroughly cleaned. Klobuchar mopped the floor with Kennedy. It was brutal. Transcript here.
Here in the Sunshine State, GOP gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist is still avoiding a direct debate with rival Jim Davis. FlaPolitics speculates it's because Charlie's sitting on a big lead, and feels he's already got the race bought (he's also got a hilarious bit about Jebbie being shoved into a broom closet...) But could it be that something else is going on with coy Charlie...?
Meanwhile, things aren't looking good for crazy Kathy's old seat... The latest polls show that seat, and the one recently vacated by nasty Mark Foley, are trending slightly Democrat.
David Kuo gets his 60 Minutes debut, but on our morning show this morning, the Liberty Counsel's Matt Staver says he and his evangelical friends are staying the (GOP) course in November.

The problem here is that national security isn't the leading campaign issue. And saying it should be won't make it so. What's needed is an event--a big event--to crystallize the issue in a way that highlights Republican strength and Democratic weakness. ...
An event, huh? Cue that orange alert, folks. Or maybe, a little execution?
