Lieberman should keep his chairmanships as long as he apologizes for criticizing Barack Obama. I completely agree with Sen. Bayh on this issue. Lieberman has voted the party line on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thegolfclap.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3276362&amp;post=34&amp;subd=thegolfclap&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“I No Politics” has a pretty good post about the importance of Virginia here. But he fails to touch on many important points and the article is superficial at best. I don’t think there’s necessarily a correlation between Warner’s advertising and the pro-Obama polling (as the article suggests). The wording is a bit unfortunate. There [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thegolfclap.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3276362&amp;post=10&amp;subd=thegolfclap&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
