		Democrats also have taken hits from a run-in between Rep. Cynthia McKinney of Georgia and a Capitol Police officer, and an early-morning accident in which Rep. Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island weaved up a street in his car and struck a security barrier near the Capitol.
		House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California sought to distinguish her party's foibles from the scandals that brought down Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-Calif., for bribery and three former Republican congressional aides who had ties to ex-lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
		The Democratic ethics cases are "individual challenges that those people will have to deal with," she said, noting that she has called for the House ethics committee to investigate Jefferson.

	ABC News: Chafee Wins in Rhode Island
		In New York, frontrunning Democrats swept aside primary challengers Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton trounced an anti-war candidate in her re-election bid, Attorney General Eliot Spitzer crushed his opposition for the Democratic nod for governor, and Andrew Cuomo easily won the party nomination for attorney general.
		In Rhode Island, the importance of holding onto a GOP Senate seat brought Laura Bush and the GOP establishment to campaign around Chafee even though he was the only Republican to vote against the resolution to use force against Iraq and he opposed the president's tax cuts.
		Democrats are hopeful they can gain the six seats needed to win control in the Senate.

	Democrats questioned over money exchange - Boston.com
		Democrats across the country consider the Rhode Island race an important opportunity to chip away at the Republicans' five-seat majority in the Senate.
		The treasurer of the Hawaii Democratic Party, Jane Sugimura, initially said she was told by Pelletier that there would be a donation given to the Hawaii state party after she sent a contribution to Brown.
		Heads of the Democratic parties in both Hawaii and Maine acknowledged they made a mistake when they got involved in supporting a candidate in a primary race rather than a general election because the party doesn't usually take sides between two Democratic candidates.

		Schumer, the head of Senate Democrats' campaign efforts, said Tuesday he is focusing on seven states where he believes they can take GOP-held Senate seats in 2006: Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri, Montana, Tennessee, and Arizona.
		Arizona Democratic Party Chairman Harry Mitchell said the Senate Democrats' focus on the race will pump new resources into the state, and he expects those poll numbers to change once the campaign gets fully under way next year.
		Democrats also expect Bush, who helped Kyl raise more than $1 million at a Phoenix fund-raiser last month, to push some voters into Pederson's camp if he associates himself closely with Kyl.

	New Democrats - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The New Democrat faction saw the defeats of Carter and Mondale as proof not that the majority of the electorate in the United States had been truly converted to conservatism, but rather just that it had rejected the excesses that it had come to associate with the 1960s Democratic version of liberalism.
		The New Republic has been associated with the movement as it generally takes moderate-to-liberal views on social issues, but was associated since the 1970s with a vigorously anti-Communist, and now anti-radical Islamist, foreign policy.
		New Democrats were also noteworthy for seeking and obtaining funding from large corporations, and for being less connected with organized labor.

	Worldandnation: Democrats unveil more modest tax plan
		The Corzine-Adams performance appeared to create a public relations breakthrough for Democrats, who until Thursday were complaining they could not get attention for their view that their president's tax plan gives too much to the rich and too little to the poor.
		Gephardt acknowledged that Democrats are considering at least three different strategies: to cut tax rates, to provide taxpayers with a one-time dividend or to give taxpayers a rebate on Social Security taxes.
		Under the Democrats' plan, according Gephardt, Luwanna Adams would not only get a bigger tax cut -- perhaps as much as $300 a year -- but she also would get the benefit of new spending programs and lower interest rates resulting from their plan.

		The three Island NDP MPs supported the resolution, saying the government hasn't answered enough questions about the mission scope or explained why it appears Canada has shifted into a full-fledged war with the Taliban.

		The doctrinal rigidity of the Democratic Party has prevented anyone who believes abortion is morally wrong from ascending to its upper echelons.

		A Democratic Party more hospitable to people of conscience who oppose abortion will only be good for the cause to protect the unborn.

	Is 'Winnability' Enough For Democrats?, New Candidates Offer Hope In Senate, But Challenges Remain - CBS News
		The GOP is defending 15 seats and the Democrats have 18 at stake this year — seven of those already considered to be tough races.
		With Webb's nomination, Schumer now says the Democrats have "the candidate we want" in eight Senate seats where they think the Republicans can be beaten (Republicans are defending a total of 15 seats).
		And of those 18, there are seven the Democrats have to keep a close eye on, as they could potentially force them to spend a lot of money to defend those seats.

		These — and lesser eruptions — formed the island, which, except for a minor area fit for farming and living, is lava with a thin layer of infertile soil.
		The island's being so small we managed to spend lunchtime each day at Anakena, where good food (grilled tuna and chicken with root vegetables) is available, and still be able to visit a site in the morning, and another late afternoon.
		But on Easter Island you can see the birth, life, and death of the ancient culture — the womb of the moai in the statue quarry, the stately triumph of the moai on their platforms, and the solemn (some might say pitiful) decadence of their fall from grace...

	POLITICS-US: Democrats Fumble Iraq Policy
		While about half of the Democratic caucus in the House of Representatives -- the chambre considered closest to the grassroots -- voted in May for a resolution requiring the president to formulate an exit strategy for Iraq, the party's Senate leaders have refused even to table such an initiative.
		Unlike Feingold, all five Democratic leaders also voted in October 2002 to give Bush the authorisation to go to war, a fact that may make it far more difficult for them to call for a pullout, lest they be accused, like Kerry during the 2004 campaign, by Republicans of "flip-flopping" on a vital national-security issue.
		That is increasingly the message of the activist wing of the party which worries that the a disillusioned electorate will punish Democrats for leaving the initiative to Bush in hopes that it will all turn sour.
