Howard Fineman has seen an advance copy of What Color Is A Conservative? by retiring Rep. J.C. Watts. (R-OK). In it, Watts "is blunt about the shortcomings of the GOP.

Tim Penny for governor the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Penny "pledged to take no special interest contributions, conduct no opinion polling, hire no political consultants and run no negative advertising." ….The Wall Street Journal runs a long overdue story: "Bush faces growing criticism for taking liberties to hide costs in the federal budget and circumvent Congress in the war against terrorism, even as he lectures corporate America about accounting practices."

Bush in 1986 soley for political influence, the Boston Globe reports. Soros owned nearly a third of Harken at the time the deal was made and told The Nation's David Corn "We were buying political influence. That was it. He (Bush) was not much of a businessman." ...Forest colored Army combat equipment is going to Georgia and coming out sand colored according to wire services….Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (D-Md) is losing ground to her Republican opponent in the race for governor. Latest polls show her only 4 points ahead...
