WASHINGTON (AP) - Rep. Jim McDermott had no right to disclose the contents of an illegally taped telephone call involving House Republican leaders a decade ago, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday. In a 5-4 opinion, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that McDermott, a Washington Democrat, should not have given reporters access to the taped telephone call.

WASHINGTON -- No Democrat looking at the 2008 presidential campaign can make the boast that Evan Bayh can: In five elections in a heavily Republican state, he has won all five of his races, by ever increasing margins of victory. And Monday night in Atlanta, the senator from Indiana plans to share with Georgia Democrats his formula for the party winning again, in the South as well as in the Midwest. Bayh has some experience in such matters.

Despite a last-minute appeal by President Obama, the Democrat- controlled Senate late Tuesday rejected his nearly $450 billion jobs- stimulus proposal, as lawmakers looked ahead at other ways to spur job growth. Mr. Obama's plan didn't get a single Republican vote, as expected. But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid failed to keep his 53-member Democratic caucus together, and a procedural vote fell far short of the 60 needed to keep the measure alive and proceed toward a final vote.

Sarah Ahearn's pen wavered over the ballot. It was a tough decision for the undecided Ansonia Democrat. Obama's appeal for change. Clinton's experience. Both sounded good.
More like a Democrat After reading Sen. Lamar Alexander's comment on raising the gasoline tax (April 22 article, "Alexander suggests gas tax to fill fund gap"), I'm fuming.
