An internal poll taken by the Democratic Party shows that the Maryland 6th District is up for grabs. The poll has 16-year incumbent Roscoe Bartlett up 45%-39% with 16% still undecided. The poll was taken before the stock market plunged below 9,000 points for the first time in five years, failed to include voters under 24 years of age, and did not include new registrations in the last two months. This race is fluid, and tending toward Democratic challenger Jennifer Dougherty.

Many of us recall the controversy regarding whether George W. Bush was wired to receive prompts from an outide party during the presidential debates of 2004. Photos appeared to indicate a suspicious bulge under the President's suit that could have been a receiver hidden between his shoulder blades. There's no need to repeat those photos here; they're all over the Internet. Today, much of Palin's new staff has been populated by veterans of Bush's team. That raises the question whether Sarah Palin will be wired for her much anticipated interviews with Charlie Gibson today and tomorrow.

When John McCain was 42 years old and married, he met a thin, attractive 25 year old blond. He fell in love with her, and a year later divorced his wife and almost immediately married Cindy. Now we have to judge the veracity of an allegation that when he was 63 years old and married, he fell in love with a thin, attractive 32 year old blond. Don't worry Cindy, he might lie to his first wife, but he would never lie to his second wife. And we know that just because he might lie to his wife, that would never indicate that he would lie to us!

Did Joe Scarborough walk out on his own show?

After one of his now boring tiffs with co-host Mika Brzezinski, Joe Scarborough walked out and never returned today. Mika said the argument was over who would introduce their next guest, but the real reason seems to be that Joe's monstrous ego and quick temper just got the best of him. The question arises, will he return? Should he return?

The current round of saber rattling aimed at Iran is just part of a long, all too familiar, crescendo. Once again the administration is building a case for war. And once again we find Dick Cheney at odds with more moderate elements of the administration. It is a game that Cheney plays well. In the past he could count on his old friend Don Rumsfeld to counter a moderate like Colin Powell. If this were a chess game, Powell and Rumsfeld were the queens on the board, and their fall now leaves lesser pieces like bishops Condoleeza Rice and Robert Gates to jockey with Cheney for control of the center of the board. But if your analysis of the game is limited to these major pieces, you underestimate Cheney. His long service in government dating back to the Nixon administration has left him with long tentacles that reach deep into the knights, rooks and pawns of the game.

Rumor has it that the prosecution is just warming up with the plea agreement that included the resignation of Republican Congressman Duke Cunningham. If you want to know who is next, you would do well to look at the identity of the so-called unidentified co-conspirators in the Cunningham case. Key among them is Mitchell Wade, CEO of MZM, Inc., one of the Pentagon's top contractors. It was he who purchased Cunningham's home for $1.7 Million, and later was forced to sell it for its true value, $950,000. Wade also contributed heavily to Cunningham's campaigns, both personally and through MZM PAC. Wade gave personal campaign contributions to Cunningham totaling $8,000 and MZM PAC kicked in another $12,000. Read More

With hundreds of thousands of people stranded in New Orleans without food or water, President Bush has mobilized the 101st Airborne Division. No, not the hundreds of helicopters that could be used to rescue people. Not the thousands of soldiers that could restore order, No, President Bush has sent seven soldiers, all highly trained in public relations, to assist the media in southern Mississippi. They left Fort Campbell yesterday and were expected to arrive in Hattiesburg later that day. The rest of the division remains in Fort Campbell.

The United States last faced a major refugee problem after the Vietnam War. Then we used military installations like Indiantown Gap to house thousands of refugees. That situation pales compared to housing the people of New Orleans until the city can recover from this disaster. There will be a million people who are homeless for months to come. What will the Bush administration do to help these people?

We have long suspected that the religious right was out of step with the vast majority of Americans. I believe that the Terri Schiavo affair will finally prove us correct. Christian fundamentalists hold significantly different religious beliefs than do the majority of Americans. Fundamentalists believe that their beliefs constitute the one true religion; that all other believers and non-believers are destined to rot in hell. All you Muslims, Buddhists, Jews and Unitarians be damned. This belief in the exclusive nature of their lock on the God's Truth, on the Way, is central to understanding the importance of the Schiavo matter.
