...Cambridge voters have only a handful of important choices apart from the marquee gubernatorial race. Senator Edward M. Kennedy ’54-’56 (D-Mass.) is expected to easily win an eighth term over Republican Kenneth Chase, a lawyer and businessman who ran against Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) in 2004 and took 21 percent of the vote. A member of the Senate since 1962, Kennedy won 73 percent of the vote in his last election. Apart from the governorship, the attorney general is the only statewide office that is likely to change hands tomorrow...
...chairs of the Democrats' House and Senate campaign committees, Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois and Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, announced a joint closing theme for the party on Monday morning: "Time for a New Direction on Iraq," and urged their voters to send a message rejecting what Emanuel calls "the Bush-Rumsfeld strategy in Iraq." Democrats say they were buoyed over the weekend by an Army Times editorial calling for Rumsfeld's resignation, as well as excerpts from an upcoming Vanity Fair article quoting key neoconservatives expressing pessimism about Iraq.

Crowe, despite his loutish rep, is forever surprising viewers by slipping snugly into the disparate characters he plays. This time he surprises by failing. Oh, he can do engaging as smartly as he does stalwart or tortured, but he gets sabotaged by the cloying script.

Don't expect to be beguiled by A Good Year. That would be like trying to warm your hands at an artificial fireplace...
...letter came from the campaign office of Republican congressional candidate Tan Nguyen, a Vietnamese immigrant running against Rep. Loretta Sanchez, D-Calif., in the Nov. 7 election. Nguyen at first blamed a rogue but unidentified staffer who, he said, had been dismissed. Later, he offered to re-hire the staffer, saying the letter was proper. Wrong. Whoever wrote that tactless missive is clueless about the law; while it's true that illegal immigrants can't vote, legal immigrants can vote if they've become naturalized citizens...
...using the tag line "Real. Change" to challenge freshman Sen. Maria Cantwell (D), who has supported the war. A new McGavick ad uses the President's former "stay the course" mantra as a slur against Cantwell and says: "President Bush doesn't understand our frustrations." In Minnesota, three-term Rep. Mark Kennedy (R) is gaining on prosecutor Amy Klobuchar (D) with an ad that tries to level with voters. "None of us like war. And we've made some mistakes in Iraq," the ad says. "Leaving Iraq now will create a breeding ground for new attacks on America." His close...
