“In 2008 It’s Ronald Reagan vs. Bobby Kennedy,” by William Kristol (TIME)

“Senator: Some See Impeachment As Option,” by Hope Yen (Washington Post)
The “i”-word is back, and one of Mary’s boyfriends is using it. Shockingly, this week it wasn’t “incompetent”. It’s even worse!

“Republican Party loyalty in decline since 2002,” by Janet Hook (Los Angeles Times)
