With the retirements last year of longtime Republicans John Warner of Virginia, Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Mississippi's Trent Lott, there's hardly a Republican left who is willing to reach out across the aisle. The punishment for such comity is tea-party declarations of being a traitor: witness Lindsey Graham's second censure this week by a South Carolina County Republican Party for his bipartisan work on climate change. On the Democratic side, the death of Massachusetts' Ted Kennedy, the retirement of John Breaux of Louisiana and the loss of South...
...pick up a net gain of five seats in the Senate. But in order to achieve this, Republicans must unify their fractured party, and given the spate of conservative primary challenges, from Mark Rubio in Florida to Rand Paul in Kentucky, this will be no easy task. The tea-party movement is also making life difficult for new recruits like Griffith, who after switching parties now faces a tough primary. And the GOP is plagued by cash woes.

...forgetting the museum's Tower Restaurant, tel: (44-131) 225 3003, where both the food and the views are fabulous. Next stop would be the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the Dean Gallery, tel: (44-131) 624 6336, followed by the ultimate Edinburgh treat - afternoon tea in the Balmoral hotel, tel: (44-131) 556 2414. In the evening I'd watch a classical concert at Usher Hall, tel: (44-131) 228 1155, one of the city's great festival spaces. Finally I'd settle down to a late dinner and some live music at my fantastic local...
