Political bits
(TheHill) Lieberman escalates attacks on Dems.
(Politico) Fred Thompson's fundraising report: $3.46 million. That's well below the stated goal of $5 million, but I think, far more significantly, this amount comes from only 9,167 donors, 7,534 of them from online. (1,600 total donors not online? No, he's not lazy at all.)
(CNN) Thompson's statement: "The level of support and enthusiasm from people across this country is inspiring....”
(UPI) The Republican National Committee will be considering an immigration resolution on Thursday directly at odds with their President's policy. (Have you ever noticed that the loudest immigration critics are primarily not from the border states?)
Later: (AP) Ted Stevens bookkeeper is working with the Feds.

Has Lieberman become irrelevant yet? I don't have my finger on the pulse, but hasn't he become kind of a B-list "get" for MSM news-pinion shows? In my admittedly uneducated scope of the land, he's splashing in the Zell Miller end of the pool... damaged goods only suitable for Fox News consumption.

Thompson was billed as the White Knight candidate (I'm sorry "candidate") by oh so many conservative pundits just weeks ago. Now, poof.
If not Thompson, who could be a possible savior for the Repubs? Who could swoop in and win the hearts and minds of both the base and independents alike?

Lieberman's definitely fallen out of the "first call" status on the talk shows, but I don't know if that's his choice or theirs.
Frankly, the Congressional Republicans aren't even promoting him anymore because he's gone so far.
So long as he stays in the caucus and keeps the Dem chairmanships, he's largely irrelevant.
And, I don't think there is a "savior" for the base Republicans. I think Giuliani is their candidate.
There's nobody out there to jump in.
