Democratic Congressional leaders aren't going to make life easy for John McCain this year. In the next few months, they'll be rolling out vote after vote on things like stem cell research and global warming, according to Raw Story, in an attempt to put McCain at odds with the conservative faithful in his party.
This would be the first time in recent memory that Democrats have campaigned with teeth, but it does throw into question whether or not the kind of "change" the liberal presidential candidates talk so much about will be possible in a political climate that remains unchanged in terms of tactics and discourse.
This is well-worm Republican tactic, one that the GOP mastered in the 12 years they controlled Congress, and now a dose of medicine they're being force fed by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

Not that we'd expect the Democrats to play nice; it's just a complete change to see them wage a successful electoral campaigns, let alone two cycles in a row.
The outcome of this election isn't certain by any means, but what's undeniable is that the Democrats have the wind at their backs and yet to blow it. Not that we'd put it past them, but they're at least we can say the political cogs are turning as they should be.

Who would have thought that politicians on baseball would fall along partisan lines.
The other week, Roger Clemens testified before a committee of lawmakers with a very curious set of priorities investigating his alleged use of HGH. Democrats felt he was lying, Republicans were suspicious of his accuser.
Anyway, since Democrats are in charge of the Congress and all its committees, the perjury inquiry into Clemens testimony is set to begin and thus, Clemens' It-Was-The-Woman defense will be tested.
We think we have a pretty decent guess as to how it'll work out though based on our close observation of the famous Adam v. God case: a failed defense strategy as old as humanity itself. Bold move, Roger. Bold move

During a Newt Gingrich book signing at the Conservative Political Action Committe (CPAC), a WhiteHouse.com reporter asked the former Speaker of the House what the plan were for his political future.
It was only a few months ago that Gingrich announced he would not be seeking the Republican nomination in 2008. He had previously stated that he would run if his supporters raised $30 million dollars.

Still, there were rampant rumors that he would run or at the very least run with McCain as the Vice President. While he vetoed the idea of jumping into the race this late, he left the door wide open for a 2012 run.
