8 Stories on Gordon Smith
As if Sen. Ted Stevens didn't have enough problems, Sen. Barack Obama might add to them.
Even before news broke of Alaskan Sen. Ted Stevens' indictment on corruption charges, analysts were saying that Republicans in Congress haven't been this vulnerable in decades.
Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, is settling on a message.
Just when you think you've heard everything in this race for the White House, along comes something truly surprising. Such was the case on Thursday's "American Morning."
Sen. Barack Obama's name is likely to help several Democratic candidates down ballot, but what about a Republican?
All of 4 feet 9 inches tall, with a hook for a left hand and a résumé devoid of any time in elected office, aspiring U.S. Senator Steve Novick would be easy to write off as unelectable. That's clearly the view of the Democratic Party, which has put its weight behind his rival in the race to unseat Oregon Republican incumbent Gordon Smith in November.
Democrats' efforts to challenge President Bush's Iraq policies were dealt a demoralizing blow Wednesday in the Senate after they failed to scrape together enough support to guarantee troops more time at home.
As President Bush prepares to announce an increase in the number of U.S. troops fighting in Iraq, some Democrats say they would consider blocking funding for the escalation.
