WASHINGTON — Republicans threatened to delay Senate business with a health care read-a-thon this weekend, as Democrats kept searching for 60 votes to advance President Barack Obama's signature issue and a forecast of heavy snow added to the list of complications. At a news conference Friday in the Capitol, Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., accused Democrats of trying to ram the health care bill through with dozens of changes as yet unseen, and promised to do everything in their power to prevent it. "I think we've made it rather clear we're not going to expedite consideration of the health care bill," McConnell said. ...

More than 11 years after their affair rocked America, former White House intern Monica Lewinsky has claimed the then US President Bill Clinton lied under oath when he described their romantic encounters during his impeachment trial, according to a new book. In an email to law professor Ken Gormley, who penned 'The Death of American Virtue', Lewinsky has made it clear she believes President Clinton had lied about their liaison during his testimony to the grand jury. "There was no leeway (there) on the veracity of his statements because they asked him detailed and specific questions to which he answered untruthfully," she wrote. The 769-page book, due to be out in ...

Twitter’s security resume was badly damaged in July when hackers stole secret company documents depicting its operations. Yet even that didn’t take down the website.

Sen. Jim DeMint said Thursday he is prepared to use every procedural tool to delay a vote on the Democratic healthcare legislation. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is planning to schedule votes around the clock over the next week to meet a deadline of passing the bill by Christmas. Without the cooperation of Republicans, the marathon schedule would end with a vote on Christmas Eve. Reid hopes that Republicans will waive some of the procedural formalities so senators are not forced to spend the evening before Christmas milling about the Senate floor. But Sen.

On Wednesday, paparazzi captured photos of Sarah Palin relaxing on a Hawaii beach with her husband and children, and wearing a McCain campaign visor -- with her former running mate's name scribbled over with a black marker. TMZ called the visor a "searing political statement," but Palin tells Politico that she was just trying to keep a low profile. "I am so sorry if people took this silly incident the wrong way," Palin said in a statement. "I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago. So much ...

This book is the first volume of a projected trilogy. Orbis Books has commissioned James W. Douglass to write three books on the assassinations of the 1960's. The second will be on the murders of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, while the third will be on the assassination of Bobby Kennedy. This is one of the few books on the Kennedy case that I actually wished was longer. In the purest sense, Jim Douglass is not a natural writer. But it seems to me he has labored meticulously to fashion a well organized, thoroughly documented, and felicitously composed piece of workmanship that is both comprehensible and easy to read. These attributes do not extend from simplicity of design or lack ...

House votes 218-214 for short-term debt ceiling increase By Mike Soraghan - 12/16/09 05:09 PM ET In an end-of-session nail-biter vote, the House passed a short-term increase of the debt limit Wednesday, setting the stage for a February showdown on deficit spending. It was not a popular measure with centrist and vulnerable lawmakers, who don’t want to be portrayed as allowing the nation to go deeper into debt. The $290 billion increase would set the debt ceiling at $12.394 trillion. Click for Full Text!

CONCORD, N.H. — Do you know who Tim Pawlenty is? "Never heard of him," said Patricia Goulet, of Concord, shopping for books at a local Border's. How about you, Susan Chabot, of Manchester? "No." He's the governor of Minnesota. Ring a bell, Rich Audet, of Northfield? "Nope." Little more than a year after the last presidential election, the Minnesota governor made an early stop in a state key to any national political campaign's strategy — New Hampshire. It was yet another potential building block by Pawlenty as he explores whether he could put together a viable presidential candidacy. And while he may not be known to a group of holiday ...

Brian Baird's decision to retire but remains confident Democrats will maintain control of the House after the 2010 elections.

Like others who follow politics in the Northwest and beyond, Pelosi said she was surprised by Baird's announcement. "He made a personal decision that he felt was right and I have to accept that,'' Pelosi said today ...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Hopes for rapid progress on President Barack Obama's health care overhaul dimmed Wednesday as Republican delaying tactics complicated the work of Senate Democratic leaders to line up 60 votes and move the bill. A lone moderate remained undecided despite a one-on-one meeting Tuesday with Obama that lasted 30 minutes. Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., said he still has concerns about abortion and other issues. The only known holdout, Nelson said it had been his third meeting in eight days with the president. Obama "made a strong case for passing health care reform now," said Nelson. "But I think it still remains to be seen if it was compelling." The ...

A state Senate committee approved the bill by one vote on Monday. Democrats concede the measure may fall short of the 21 ...
