PLEADED GUILTY. Bob Ney, 52, Republican Congressman from Ohio and the first lawmaker to admit guilt in the influence-peddling scandal surrounding lobbyist Jack Abramoff; to accepting money and gifts on the lobbyist's behalf in exchange for official favors; in Washington. Ney was previously known for his successful push to rename French fries "freedom fries" in House cafeterias--a 2003 protest against France's opposition to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. He faces up to 10 years in prison...

I met my dad’s buddy from college the other day, who said...
...Perhaps. In private Republicans admit that at least three Senate seats - Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Montana - are likely to switch to the Democrats. The Foley scandal and bad news from Iraq has hurt Republican incumbent Mike DeWine in Ohio. But to make up the remaining two seats, Democrats need to win the toss-up race in Missouri and the open Republican seat in Tennessee, or stage a surprising win in Virginia. At the same time, two seats in Maryland and New Jersey are likely to go to Democrats but are still in play and must be defended. Says the G.O.P...
