On Tuesday, Republicans voted with Democrats to open debate on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s Stop Excessive Energy Speculation Act. To avoid a vote on offshore drilling, Reid refused to allow any amendments to the bill. Republicans, holding out for amendments, offered to allow a vote on the LIHEAP bill if Reid allowed amendments to the speculation bill. Reid said no.

Manly Mitt is terrified of questions that don’t come from the Elite Beltway Punditocracy: Republican Mitt Romney isn’t sure yet whether he’ll participate in the CNN/YouTube.com Republican debate in September, but he’s no fan of the format.
"I think the presidency ought to be held at a higher level than having to answer questions from a snowman," he said in an interview yesterday. Hmm... now why do you think he might not be a fan of YouTube, I wonder? Got anythin... more
