Give Waco a Break

Dear GK:

You are being just as unfair to Waco TX as some folks are to San Francisco. Don't fall into this trap. The Waco Herald-Tribune did a very good job covering the drug bust scandal in Tulia a few years ago.

The Best Thing for Whitehouse to do

If I were Mr. Whitehouse (which I'm not) I would offer to withdraw from the race and endose Chaffee's election provided that he promise to vote Democratic in the organization of the Senate. This would make it clear what the election is really about -- not Chaffee vs. Whitehouse but a Democratic Senate vs. a Republican one. This would strengthen Whitehouse's campaign immensely.

Who knows; Chaffee might do it.

Bush "thanked Bandar for what the Saudis were doing on oil -- essentially flooding the market and trying to keep the price as low as possible. [Bush] expressed appreciation for the policy and the impact it could have during the election year."

It's about a month to the election, and the price of oil is falling.
