CNN: Reports that Senator Joe Lieberman is in the DOG HOUSE with his fellow Democrats. This is not new, Lieberman should point out to them without out his vote in the Senate they are in the cold. In other words he should play hard ball with them, fear of the loss of power can have a great effect on politicians.

The Future of the 08 Race
Politico: Reports on the view of Historians on the chances of McCain winning, two word answer, NO WAY!. But one has to remember this is after 9/11 and if one uses the example of 1968 and 1976, Humphrey and Ford came close when they had been back in the polls. Also it should be noted that McCain is not tied to Bush as Humphrey was to Lyndon Johnson. Plus Iraq after the surge is working, Iraq is not popular but the death toll is down, and the economy even with high oil prices is not in the tank what ever Democrats say often in their speeches. Lets deal with the elephant in the room, this is a change election, the Democrats have the first African - American Nominee for President, one has to ask are the American people ready for such a change, and even if they are, is Obama the right one, he is Liberal, he has moved to the centre but his losses of the later states in the Democratic Race show that if he can be defined by McCain as a Elite Liberal he might have problems, also McCain is a War Hero, POW in Vietnam, he was tortured, a maverick within the Republican Party. If Democrat hold the Champagne!!
McCain and Vietnam
New York Times: Reports on the time that Senator McCain was a POW in North Vietnam. A very fair article by the Liberal New York Times. Must Read of the Day.
Clintons and Divorce ?
Telegraph ( UK ): Reports on rumours that the Clintons are going to divorce. I don't see it, Clinton still has a chance at the VP spot, if she didn't ditch him over the Impeachment why now!
Lisbon Redux
The Sunday Times: Reports that Gordon Brown is ready to dance on the grave of the Lisbon Treaty. Brown according to the Sunday Times does not want to create two classes of Europe. Lets get real this is not about Ireland, its about the UK. One day soon Europe will go to far, and the UK will be on the out, so its better to use Ireland as a reason to bury the Lisbon Treaty. Having a weak leader has some good points, and Brown is weak, he has an election coming up and he does not need Europe to be a negative on the Campaign Trail.
Midnight - Dr Who Review
The Doctor Who News Page: Again the top programme on Saturday. Midnight allowed the actors to act their socks off, it was about acting not special effects, this programme should be showed in acting schools through the UK. Midnight was dramatic, scary, allowed character development, and for a few seconds you thought that the good Doctor was going through that air lock minus protective gear, the eyes do have it they sure do in Doctor Who.
