Florida is one of several states that denies voting rights to felons who have completed their jail and parole terms. According to The Sentencing Project, about 5.3 million American citizens are denied the right to vote because of felony convictions. Florida was one of a few states with unusually strict laws making it all but impossible to regain voting rights under normal circumstances.

Recently, Bush invited members of the Blue Dog Coalition and New Democrat Coalition to visit the White House to talk about policy. Many people here were understandably concerned that these representatives would outflank the leadership and cut deals with Bush on pro-business and anti-environmentalist policies, as we saw in the Senate in 2002. It appeared to be a slap in the face of the Democratic leaders who control the agenda in the House.

It looks like Ken Mehlman has decided to go over Liddy Dole's head and share some RNC cash to do the work she failed to do. The RNC is targeting Senate seats in three states to build a "firewall" around a Republican majority in the Senate, no matter how small.

Headline only at the New York Times at this time. More to come.

The Court of Appeals in a 4-2 decision rejected arguments from gay and lesbian plaintiffs throughout the state that their inability to get marriage licences in New York violated their constitutional rights.

Judge Robert Smith said New York's marriage law clearly limits marriage to between a man and a woman and any change in the law should come from the state Legislature. Read More

Rasmussen has posted a new poll on Missouri's Senate race. Democratic nominee Claire McCaskill leads incumbent Jim Talent by a statistically meaningless one point, 42%-41%.

McCaskill has held her own in Rasmussen's polls for several months. I believe the Missouri Senate race is one the most underrated of the cycle, a better target than Ohio. Read More
