In Tight Race, Ohio Senator Rallies On Student Loans

In another testament to just how important turning out young voters could be in this year’s election — and how potent the issue of student loan costs could be in making that happen — Ohio’s freshman Democratic senator rallied with students in support of his legislation to prevent this summer’s impending increase on student-loan interest payments.

Dems Debunk Romney on Osama

Citing a 2009 Senate report as evidence, two Democrats sought to debunk Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney’s claim that “any president” would have given the order against terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden. As the first anniversary of bin Laden’s death approaches Wednesday, Robert Weiner, a former Clinton White House spokesman, and Weiner associate Richard Mann say they prove wrong the statements by Romney and other critics of Obama that “any president” would have given the order that launched the raid...

The Witching Hour

The Righties have succeeded in making their meme more important than the anniversary whose celebration disgusts them so. Thus (bizarrely using -- not for the first time this week -- a UK newspaper and Writer/Blogger Toby Harndon to push their poisonous "American" blog linkages)
