Harold Ford Jr. and Al From have come up with an "ambitious" goal to create an American Center for Cures which would be a "cabinet-level authority charged with fighting life-threatening disease."

The new slogan for the McCain campaign.

In an email sent out from Gravel he said the Democratic Party "no longer represents my vision for our great country."

"It is a party that continues to sustain war, the military-industrial complex and imperialism — all of which I find anathema to my views."

James Antle discusses the quixotic presidential campaigns and congressional races of political oddities Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul:

Barack Obama has snagged another endorsement:

Two names that stuck out to me were Dennis Kucinich and Lincoln Davis; a more odd couple you won't find. And I'd imagine they voted the way they did for very different reasons.
