Indiana Primary: Four Against Former Sen. Dan Coats in One of Many GOP Slugfests
By Robert Schmuhl - Politics DailySOUTH BEND, Indiana -- Today's Indiana primary could once again prove the political unpredictability of Hoosier voters, who in the 2006 midterm flipped three of the state's U.S. House seats from the Republicans to the Democrats, and in 2008 favored Barack Obama, the first time a Democratic presidential candidate had won here since Lyndon Johnson in 1964. While this year's primary is ho-hum for Democrats, Republicans across the state are energetically violating Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment about speaking ill of any fellow member of the GOP. Former Sen. Dan Coats is on the receiving end ...
Turkey Protests House Panel Vote to Call Armenian Deaths 'Genocide'
By Tom Kavanagh - Politics DailyBy a narrow vote of 23 to 22, the House Foreign Affairs Committee has passed a measure calling on President Obama to characterize Turkey's killing of 1.5 million Armenians during and immediately after World War I as "genocide."

Congress Asks Department of Justice To Investigate Clemens
By PostmanR - AOL NewsYesterday, Congress decreed that by the end of the week, it would be known whether or not Roger Clemens would indeed be asked to be investigated by the Department of Justice.

Clemens Hearing Report Card: Rep. Davis
By Eamonn Brennan - AOL NewsThe Clemens hearing is over now, and the assorted parties have retreated. The Clemens Hearing Report Card will assess the key players' performances in a way that has about as much to do with baseball as the hearing itself did. Next up: Tom Davis!Were it not for the strident shouting of Dan Burton, Roger Clemens would not have had a better friend on the committee today than Tom Davis. Whereas Burton probably damaged Roger's cause with his name calling and good-old-boy BS, Davis remained composed and careful. It actually took the listener a minute or two to see what Davis' larger point was, and ...
Clemens Hearing Report Card: Rep. Burton
By Eamonn Brennan - AOL NewsThe Clemens hearing is over now, and the assorted parties have retreated. The Clemens Hearing Report Card will assess the key players' performances in a way that has about as much to do with baseball as the hearing itself. First up: Dan Burton!The Clemens hearing had its fair share of personality launches today, but none was more overstated, simpleminded, and ridiculous than Rep. Dan Burton's. Burton, a Republican from the fine state of Indiana, not only praised Roger Clemens to the point of embarrassment -- Burton screeched "He's a ... a ... a TITAN!" -- but he attacked Brian McNamee with a ...
