Guess Who's Running Again
Came across this in the news on Sunday:

McCain Softens Language on Jerry Falwell

WASHINGTON - Potential presidential candidate John McCain says he longer considers evangelist Jerry Falwell to be one of the "agents of intolerance" that he criticized during a previous White House run.

The Republican senator from Arizona will be the commencement speaker in May at Liberty University, the Lynchburg, Va., institution that Falwell founded in 1971.

Time to recognize, I guess, that whether he likes it or not, if he wants to win he is going to have to work with Falwell.

I for one don't think he should do that. I'm not a Republican, but I think if anyone is going to challenge the stranglehold that the Religious Right has on the Republican Party, it's going to have to be someone like McCain. But, we'll see how all this plays out.

And Who's Not Running Anymore
This is the breaking news right now at CNN:
Rep. Tom DeLay will drop out of his re-election race, two Republican congressional sources tell CNN.
