...credit report of Michael Steele, a GOP Senate candidate in Maryland. Emanuel, meanwhile, has been outraised by House Republicans ($60 million to $37 million) and hasn?t been able to match the sway of Schumer with his own colleagues. Over Emanuel's strong objections, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi has called for a speedy withdrawal of American troops from Iraq, a position Emanuel has told friends may well cause political problems for the party...
...elections as a way of drawing a sharp contrast with Democrats. White House press secretary Scott McClellan told reporters Friday: "We are stepping up our efforts to educate the American people about this vital tool in the war on terrorism ahead of the congressional hearing."

"I haven't accused him of anything. I was, and remain, concerned that he has the proper authority to do what he is doing." A legitimate concern, but the Democrats are on thin ice here. Some of the wilder donkeys talked about a possible Bush impeachment after the NSA program was revealed...
