According to several sources, Torricelli has dropped out of the New Jersey race, complicating a Senate situation already fraught with peril for the Democrats. Could this pave the way for Bill Bradley‘s return to the political scene? Let’s hope so. To be honest, even Lautenberg, who’s pretty mediocre, would be an improvement over the Torch. Update: He’s officially out…no word yet on who’s in.

It begins.
After Drudge’s report (linked yesterday), the Gorewatch heats up. Sigh. Maybe if I ignore it for awhile, it‘ll all go away.
Oh no.
Wrestling Big Business.
After winning the Minnesota Democratic primary, incumbent Senator Paul Wellstone runs on corporate responsibility. Hey, he’d get my vote.
Fool me once…
It’s Florida all over again as gubernatorial candidate Janet Reno challenges the primary votes (or lack thereof) in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Question is, what have y’all been doing in Florida for the past two years?
Apocalypse Then.
The NYT watches John Kerry’s old Vietnam footage with the Senator and contemplates the relevance of military service to political life.
Payroll Problems.
Say, don’t you remember? They called me Al. It was Al all the time. Say don’t you remember? I’m your pal! Hey buddy, can you spare a dime?
Cuomo backs out.
In a surprising turn of events, Andrew Cuomo conceded defeat yesterday in the NY Democratic gubernatorial primary (with maybe a little push from “Boss Clinton”.) Savvy of him to realize the writing on the wall, that a scorched earth attack in the last week wouldn’t go over very well amid the increasingly ubiquitous September 11 memorial climate.
Dubya and the Dems.
Is the Bush White House hoping for heavy GOP losses in 2002? Somehow, I doubt it…the last thing he’d want to see is a Democratic House looking more carefully into subjects such as Enron, Halliburton, and Harken.
One Last Binge?
Despite the recent economic travails and the passage of McCain-Feingold (which takes effect after this election cycle), both the GOP and the Dems are awash in campaign cash for 2002. I’m curious to see what kind of dent McCain-Feingold puts in this sort of behavior, if only for a while.
