Democratic voters in Connecticut began casting their ballots Tuesday morning and by 10:30 this evening, both Sen. Joe Lieberman and his rival Ned Lamont will likely know whether Lamont’s daring challenge has succeeded in defeating the man who only six years ago carried the party’s banner as its vice presidential candidate.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14228351/With a new poll showing the race tightening between Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman and his anti-war opponent, both sides made their final pitches to voters in the nation’s most closely watched primary election.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14223997/from/RS.1/American voters are as ready to dump incumbent lawmakers as they were just before they handed control of Congress to Republicans in 1994, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released on Monday. Republicans, who control both houses of Congress, stand to lose the most in the November elections because of strong anti-incumbent sentiment and they trail Democrats in support among registered voters, the poll showed. Fifty-three percent of those surveyed called themselves "anti-incumbent" -- nearly the same as the 54 percent who identified themselves as such in the summer of 1994 when Congress was still under the Democrats' control.

Lebanon’s offer to deploy 15,000 troops along the border with Israel is “interesting” and worthy of further consideration, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Tuesday. Olmert said such a move must go hand-in-hand with the disarming of Hezbollah guerrillas. Meanwhile, battles between Israeli forces and Hezbollah guerrillas raged Tuesday across southern Lebanon as diplomats at the United Nations struggled to keep a peace plan from collapsing over Arab demands for an immediate Israeli withdrawal.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14245133/from/RS.4/Thousands of "American Idol" hopefuls descended on the Rose Bowl before dawn Tuesday with wide-eyed dreams of becoming the next Taylor Hicks or Carrie Underwood. The competitors taking the field Tuesday had "American Idol" fame in mind, not football. Pasadena was the first of seven cities where producers of Fox TV's talent show planned auditions. Roads leading to the Rose Bowl were clogged as auditioners hurried to meet the supposed 6 a.m. PDT deadline to line up.

Finally,
FORT PAYNE, Alabama -- Gerald Lynn Kelley decided to protest the war in Iraq by walking along a highway in a cowboy hat and boots. Just a cowboy hat and boots. He said he realizes he broke the law and does not encourage streaking, but he hopes the incident encourages people to speak out against the war. Kelley, 52, was charged with public lewdness in the July 30 incident. Kelley said he regrets a church event was occurring in a nearby park at the time of his protest. He said he marched in the opposite direction. "My dad told me years ago if you've got a stubborn mule, you've got to hit him across the head with a 2-by-4 in order to get his attention," he said.
