...Cher, thank you for watching C-SPAN--I think you have better things to do with your life than watch boring old us, but thank you!" MARY BONO, California Congresswoman and widow of Cher's ex-husband Sonny, after the singer called in to a C-SPAN TV show to voice support for sending more--and better--helmets to troops in Iraq...
...friendly but unexpected visit last December. Regardless, most political pros fully expect him to exert sizeable influence over his party's agenda and candidates in the coming years. His most pressing order of business is to find a viable candidate to run in the September primary against Congresswoman Katherine Harris for the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate.

Wilson has been engaged in lengthy negotiations with the White House and other members of Congress over access to details of the program in advance of what she says will...
President Bush may wave away Democratic critics of domestic eavesdropping, but one challenger is proving harder to dismiss: Heather Wilson, a plainspoken Air Force veteran from New Mexico and four-term G.O.P. Congresswoman little known outside of national-security circles. As chair of the House subcommittee that authorizes technical intelligence, she has waged a behind-the-scenes battle for access to information about the controversial surveillance program since word of it leaked in December. She won a significant victory last week. After she called for a full investigation of the spying, the White House ended 54 days of stonewalling...
