Nice. Lunch with Abbas and the SFRC. I love it. (Busy day. No wonder there was no floor speech today. I expect one tomorrow morning and possibly a follow-up tomorrow afternoon on Bolton.)

1. Home town gloom and doom, Boston Phoenix article

Dan Kennedy, a good guy and a good writer, pooh-poohs anyone from Massachusetts being able to do anything nationally but ruin the New Hampshire primary for good. Sigh! http://www.bostonphoenix.com/boston/news_features/dont_quote_me/multi-page/documents/04717967.asp

Ah, what the hell, it's still early. And at least the article mentions that the national press doens't hate Kerry (only Joan Vennochi.) Gawd, what a time for Oliphant to get a medical condition and be unavailable for whorish quotes.
