Today, we learned that Organizing for America
hopes to rally support for Sotomayor; GOP insiders
say it's a bad idea to oppose her; Sen. Chris Dodd's first 2010 reelection ad
features footage of President Obama congratulating him on the credit card bill; Obama
is outpacing Clinton and both Bushes in approval; young conservatives
attempted rap; cookies may have
yielded crucial intelligence; and Democrats
see an upside to attacks on Sotomayor.
We also considered Obama's
new brand of capitalism; the
intellectual honesty of discussing Sotomayor's race and gender; whether the government will
influence auto design; what you need to know about
