– Sarah Palin is hitting the road. I've long thought she was not going to run in 2012, but I may have to reassess that. For now though it seems she is trying to rehabilitate her image. My guess is that if she thinks the effort has been successful, she will reconsider a Presidential run.

– Republicans in Texas are at war with each other over congressional redistricting. In a state picking up a significant number of seats, the GOP risks letting federal judges draw their congressional lines.

– The Democrats still don't have a budget plan, they don't have a real plan to pass social security, and they want to break for recess. Remember how talking heads lamented that it was the GOP that was not serious in Washington?
