Hillary Visits Iraq

Hillary is taking a trip to Iraq with Democrat Senator Evan Bayh from Indiana (who recently dropped out of the '08 field) and Republican Rep. John McCugh of New York. Would I be the first to suggest the possibility of a Clinton/Bayh ticket?

Reid & Pelosi "Anti-Surge" Letter to Bush

Newly minted Congressional leaders, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), have written a letter to President Bush urging him not to send in additional troops to Iraq, the so-called "Surge" strategy. It will be very interesting to see where the '08 hopefuls come out on this topic, and this letter, in particular. Who will be the first to support it? My guess would be John Edwards. What will be even more interesting is whether Hillary and Barack will even take part in this debate - especially when pushed by the press, which will no doubt happen in the next few weeks (Tim Russert - I'm talking to you, buddy).
