The state’s most powerful Democrat, outgoing Governor Mark Warner, has spurned the Senate race, likely in preparation for his own presidential...
...Senate Armed Services Committee wants to get a second opinion on how the war in Iraq is going, where does he turn? To the Pentagon, but not to the top brass this time.

Pounding Yale again and again and again is making The Game seem like Pop Warner practice. Last year, at least the Yalies could deal with their depression by imagining they actually attended Harvard for a day.
