The club has sent a $350,000 down payment on what it hopes will be $1 million to back conservative G.O.P. Congressman Pat Toomey, who is challenging the four-term Senator in Pennsylvania's Republican primary next April.

All the major candidates favored a deal with the U.N. to bring more foreign troops into the peacekeeping operations; none counseled retreat. But a minor candidate, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, threw down a wildly provocative challenge: "We should bring the troops home now." This, I fear, is a position with a future. Many polls are showing significant public ambivalence about America's commitment to rebuild Iraq--and a clear-cut desire to spend less, not more, money...
