...only the beginning. If McCain-Feingold passes, it's on to the House, where Shays-Meehan, McCain-Feingold's long-standing shadow in the lower chamber, has passed by comfortable margins for years. But with Bush deferring the villain's role to Congress, if the reliable Senate backstop falls, DeLay is vowing to step into the Mitch McConnell role and do whatever it takes to stop the House from meeting McCain halfway. Shame, after years of high-pitched support, may keep Senate Democrats in line, but the wider (and more anonymous) bipartisan coalition that backs the ban in the House...

Angela Merkel, the new cdu leader chosen last year, has been trading insults with two rivals who covet her job: Friedrich Merz, the cdu's leader in par-liament, and Edmund Stoiber, head...
