in East Hampton, Conn., on a bucolic lake that Thoreau wouldn't mind a bit. (Not the snobby East Hampton you're all thinking of. That's in New York.)
Yours truly reports this morning on Internet dating services that cater to the political:
"If you want to date Kelly Larson, you should like cooking, wine and travel. And you'd better be a Republican who believes in small government and a strong national defense.
'I won't date a Democrat. My parents have been married 43 years, and I want that someday. The liberals are a little bit more of the 'Whatever. Who cares about morals? Let's get stoned' attitude,' she said."
It's a fun story, worth reading, but, um, whatever, dude ....
Also, we thought this New York Times story was worth mentioning:
Becky Klein is running for Congress in a heavily Democratic district, facing a five-term incumbent in Texas. She is expected to lose. And yet, she's getting all kinds of great financial backing from telecom execs and lawyers because word is out that if/when she loses, she'll become the next head of the Federal Communications Commission.
Anyone following our Senate race here, where Rep. George Nethercutt faces an uphill battle against Sen. Patty Murray, may find this story interesting. The White House was a strong advocate for Nethercutt getting in the Senate race. If Nethercutt loses and President Bush wins, what's next for Nethercutt?
