Ailing Body Politic.

As the GOP Senate flexes its newfound muscle and slashes a number of domestic programs, President Clinton emerges to assail Dubya’s health policies. Keep it up, Republicans, and watch Dubya’s numbers founder.

Cuomo backs out.

In a surprising turn of events, Andrew Cuomo conceded defeat yesterday in the NY Democratic gubernatorial primary (with maybe a little push from “Boss Clinton”.) Savvy of him to realize the writing on the wall, that a scorched earth attack in the last week wouldn’t go over very well amid the increasingly ubiquitous September 11 memorial climate.

No-go for Cuomo.

Surprisingly, it seems President and Senator Clinton are now quietly backing H. Carl McCall over former Clinton Cabinet official (and Gore hack) Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for NY Governor. Is this residual fallout from the much-rumored Clinton-Gore rift in 2000, or just a savvy political move to set up for 2008?
