...states where the G.O.P. has had success in recruiting promising candidates are Virginia, where Representative Tom Davis and former Governor Jim Gilmore have both expressed interest in John Warner's seat, and Nebraska, where former Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns has thrown his hat in the ring to succeed Chuck Hagel. Johanns is also one of the only candidates that President Bush might be able to help this cycle. "The President is well received in Nebraska; I would be honored to have him here," Johanns said. On the other hand, even strong Republican candidates may not be enough if former Nebraska...
...largely beside the point, given the divisions that now afflict Iraqi society," said Senator Richard Lugar, the Indiana Republican. "Some type of success in Iraq is possible, but as policymakers, we should acknowledge that we are facing extraordinarily narrow margins for achieving our goals." Nebraska Republican Charles Hagel noted "some very bright-line contradictions" between what Petraeus and Crocker were saying, on the one hand, and a plethora of more dire reports from assorted U.S. agencies on the other.

And Thursday Senators Charles Schumer of New York and Diane Feinstein of California announced they intend to introduce a no-confidence motion against Gonzales in the Senate. Senate majority leader Harry Reid supports the motion and his staff say it could come to the floor as soon as next week...
...else to explain the conspicuously public dinner in Washington last week between Bloomberg and Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel, the Vietnam veteran and G.O.P. apostate who has come out in full opposition to President Bush and the continuation of the Iraq War? Hagel has toyed with the idea of running for the G.O.P. nomination. But he's an outsider now within the Republican family; having attacked Bush, he'd be doomed in a G.O.P. primary. Hagel's only avenue, like Bloomberg's, would be a third-party bid. It doesn't hurt that Hagel happened to make millions...
