Whether he's planning another run for the White House or a bid for senator or governor, or he just misses the spotlight, Rudy Giuliani is suddenly back and talking about the topic that made him a national star — Sept. 11. Over five days this week, the former New York mayor gave several national TV interviews and a news conference — the kind of blitz usually associated with a book tour or a campaign launch.

A major charitable event is happening in Little Rock, Arkansas, Saturday, and former Bill Clinton apparently will not be in attendance because MSNBC's Keith Olbermann has politicized it on his "Countdown" program. As Arkansas News reported hours ago, "Nine hundred people or more will get free medical attention from noon to 7 p.m. at the Statehouse Convention Center." Unfortunately, according to the liberal website FireDogLake, Clinton has decided not to attend as a result of some of the... Read Full Story
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has not decided whether to run for governor but is becoming more interested in running for U.S. Senate, two Republican advisers said Thursday.

The adviser noted that no one is saying Giuliani has made a decision, but that it "certainly... Read Full Story

Ten months after Democrats took over the Capitol and the first African-American president moved into the White House, black lawmakers are in control of some of the most powerful positions in Congress — and face new challenges to using their long-sought influence. There have been some victories — guaranteeing that stimulus money reaches some of the poorest parts of the country, expanding hate crimes legislation and moving to close health care disparities.

Sarah Palin, queen of the Republican right, was to meet TV talk queen Oprah Winfrey on Monday at the start of a frenzied book tour -- and, some believe, an unlikely White House challenge.
