Ad of the Day
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Today, we look at Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-New York, campaign ads that he released over the weekend. The chairman of the National Republican Congresssional Committee apologized for not catching then-Rep. Mark Foley, R-Florida, in alleged lies about his Internet exchanges with teen pages.
"I trusted that others had investigated. Looking back, more should have been done, and for that, I'm sorry," Reynolds said. View ads here Poll: Majority think Hastert should resign
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A majority of Americans believe the scandal over former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley's contacts with teenage congressional pages should cost House Speaker Dennis Hastert his leadership post, according to a CNN poll released Monday.
The poll, conducted Friday through Sunday by Opinion Research Corp., found that 52 percent of the 1,028 adults interviewed think Hastert should step aside. Thirty-one percent said they think he should keep his post, and 17 percent had no opinion. Read full story Full poll results Foley scandal playing in Shaw/Klein contest
From CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CNN) -- Rep. Clay Shaw, R-Florida, was already in a tight re-election race before news surfaced that then GOP-Rep. Mark Foley, who represents the district next to Shaw, sent inappropriate messages to teenage House pages. Now Shaw, the senior member of Florida's congressional delegation, faces an increasingly unpredictable future as his Democratic challenger Ron Klein tries to associate Shaw with House Speaker Dennis Hastert's, R-Illinois, botched handling of the Foley scandal. "It just reinforces this loss of trust and confidence in the leaders in Washington," Klein told CNN. "Mr. Shaw has taken a position that Mr. Hastert has done everything OK, which is very similar to the way Mr. Shaw responds to a lot of other things, just go along to get along." But Shaw, who has been in the House for 26 years, prefers talking about other matters and touts his seniority to his constituency -- 25 percent of which is over the age of 60. "The Democrats look at this as some kind of trophy that they'd like to take home," Shaw told CNN. "By unseating me and putting in a young freshman -- not too young actually -- but a freshman would be almost 80-years-old the time he got my seniority." Ahead on CNN today

AP: N.M. Gov.'s Critics Fault His Ambition
SANTE FE, NM (AP) -- When Republican gubernatorial challenger John Dendahl traveled to sparsely populated Catron County recently to drum up support in the cattle-ranching country of far western New Mexico, Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson was campaigning more than 2,000 miles away-- in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
Richardson was there in his role as chairman of the Democratic Governors' Association. But critics, and Dendahl is among the most vocal, say Richardson is laying the groundwork for a run for president in 2008. And they are trying to use that as a weapon against him.

From CNN Ticker Producer Alex Mooney
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- For Sen. Joe Biden, the midterm election is about Iraq. The Delaware Democrat will spend the next month promoting his five-point plan for the country and encouraging Democratic candidates to raise the issue on the campaign trail. In fact, Biden, a potential presidential candidate, will offer candidates and others interested in his plan "talking points" to work from. "Voters have the opportunity to send a message that they understand President Bush's policy in Iraq is failing," Biden said in a statement released from his Unite Our States political action committee. Biden is even launching a website next week: www.planforiraq.com as a platform to advance his plan.

PORTLAND, ME (AP) -- Howard Dean talked up Democrats, talked down Republicans and went door-to-door in a Portland neighborhood on Monday to rally Democrats for the upcoming election.

From CNN Ticker Producer Alex Mooney
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, is forming a committee of New Hampshire veterans to advise him on key issues in the upcoming midterm elections. The Granite state veterans, including Griff Dalianis, who headed up then-Governor Bush's New Hampshire veterans committee in 2000, and Paul Chevalier, who headed up McCain's veterans committees in 2000, are joining the McCain camp ahead of another potential presidential run in 2008. "I am proud to be working with these fine men and women who have served our country with honor and distinction," McCain said in a statement. "I deeply appreciate the advice and support they provide to our cause of electing quality Republican candidates up and down the ballot throughout New Hampshire." The Arizona Senator has been hard at work in adding key GOP supporters from crucial presidential primary states to his Straight Talk America political action committee as he mulls his political future. Another conservative editorial page calls for Hastert's ouster
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The New Hampshire Union Leader called on House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Illinois, to step down from his leadership post in an editorial published in Sunday's edition.
The newspaper, which follows last week's call for Hastert's resignation by The Washington Times, also demanded that House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, and National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Reynolds, New York, relinquish their leadership positions until an investigation concludes "whether more resignations are justified." Full editorial Pelosi calls for new approach to North Korea
From CNN Ticker Producer Alex Mooney
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, suggesting the Bush Administration's policy toward North Korea has "clearly failed," urged President Bush to immediately appoint a high-level coordinator for North Korean policy. "That appointment should be made immediately and other nations whose policies on North Korea have also so clearly failed, like China, must urgently develop new approaches as well," said Pelosi in a statement, in which she also noted that a recent Defense Department authorization bill required the president appoint someone to the post. Hastert calls for decisive action at U.N.
From CNN Ticker Producer Alex Mooney
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Illinois, said he is "neither threatened nor impressed," by North Korea's reported nuclear test but called on the United Nation's to take decisive action in response. "The United Nations and in particular our allies in the Pacific region must take decisive action to isolate this regime against this provocative move," the Speaker said in a statement released by his office. Gore back on the political airwaves
From CNN Ticker Producer Alex Mooney
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- For the first time since the 2000 presidential election, former Vice President Al Gore appears in a political television commercial for a California ballot initiative that calls for energy alternatives to reduce the state's dependence on oil. The ad, launching Monday statewide on broadcast and cable channels, is funded by "Yes on 87," a group that is funded by environmental organizations, scientists, and business leaders. Gore, whose documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," on the dangers of global warming, has been a vocal advocate for environmental issues, fueling speculation that he is considering another run for the White House in 2008. McCain adds Bush-Cheney fundraiser to PAC
From CNN Ticker Producer Alex Mooney
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Republican Sen. John McCain named a key fundraiser Monday from the Bush-Cheney campaign to join his Straight Talk America Political Action Committee in South Carolina. Paula Harper Bethea is the latest Palmetto State Republican to join McCain's PAC, as the Arizona senator continues to add influential GOPers to his circle as he considers a presidential run in 2008. "I am honored to have a distinguished businessperson of Paula's stature join our team in a leadership role," McCain said in a statement released by the PAC. "Paula has selflessly served the state of South Carolina in many capacities over the years." The South Carolina Chamber of Commerce recently named Bethea, the director of external relations for the McNair Law Firm, and her husband, Bill, 2006 Business Leaders of the Year. Bush condemns N. Korea claim of nuclear tests; calls for 'immediate response'
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Speaking from the White House, President Bush on Monday called North Korea's claim of a nuclear test "a provocative act" and said the United States is working to confirm that such a test was carried out.
"Once again North Korea has defied the will of the international community and the international community will respond," Bush said. After speaking with the leaders of South Korea, Russia, China and Japan, Bush said the nations agree on an "immediate response by the United Nations Security Council." The council will consider the matter during its session on Monday. President Bush to address North Korea nuclear test
From CNN Correspondent Kathleen Koch
President Bush will make a statement at 9:45 a.m. ET Monday on North Korea's claim that it conducted an underground nuclear test. The United States described the test, which North Korea said it carried out on Monday, a "provocative act" and was denounced by China as "brazen." Will social conservatives show up at the polls?
From CNN Correspondent Mary Snow
VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia (CNN) -- Rep. Thelma Drake, R-Virginia, was already locked in a tight re-election contest before it was recently revealed that a fellow GOP colleague was exchanging sexually explicit instant messages with teenage House pages. For Drake, news of then-Rep. Mark Foley's, R-Florida, conduct couldn't have come at a worse time -- 30 days before Election Day. Drake is counting on social conservative Republicans to turn out in droves to help her win the day and another two-year term. But some people leaving churches Sunday acknowledged that overall they are disappointed with the Washington Republican establishment and they said the Foley matter is just making it worse. Many of these people living in this military community, which is home to Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network, also said they were undecided on how they would vote in the hotly contested House race between Drake and Democratic challenger Phil Kellam. Drake is just one of many Republican incumbents with no connection to Foley, who now have to deal with the fallout of the page scandal. Former Foley aide set to testify before ethics panel
From CNN Congressional Correspondent Dana Bash
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A former Republican congressional aide, who says he tried to warn the House speaker's top aide about then-Rep. Mark Foley's, R-Florida, inappropriate behavior towards pages, expects to testify this week before the House ethics committee. Kirk Fordham's attorney tells CNN he was in touch with the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct on Friday, and expects Fordham to tell the panel under oath what he has been saying publicly: that House Speaker Dennis Hastert's, R-Illinois, chief of staff, Scott Palmer, knew about Foley's worrisome conduct long before the speaker's office admits. And sources familiar with Fordham's account of events tell CNN he was so concerned about Foley's behavior, he arranged a meeting with Foley and Palmer sometime in or before 2003 to show Foley they were serious about making him stop this inappropriate conduct with pages. Palmer's only response so far has been "What Kirk Fordham says did not happen." CNN Political Ticker AM

Compiled by Stephen Bach CNN Washington Bureau Making news today... The apparent nuclear test was conducted at 10:36 am local time (9:36 pm ET Sunday night) in Hwaderi near Kilju city, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported, citing defense officials. A U.S. military official told CNN that "something clearly has happened," but the Pentagon was working to fully confirm the report. With this test, reports the New York Times, North Korea becomes "the eighth country in history, and arguably the most unstable and most dangerous, to proclaim that it has joined the club of nuclear weapons states." For more, check out Dana's story on The Ticker. On the Political Radar today: ================================================================= Political Hot Topics (Today's top political stories from news organizations across the country) NORTH KOREA SAYS IT HAS TESTED NUKE: North Korea claimed it conducted a successful underground nuclear test Monday, according to the country's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). China, a close ally of North Korea, denounced the claimed test as "brazen" and South Korea said it would respond "sternly." The United States said a test would constitute a "provocative act." South Korea's president said Pyongyang's claimed test "broke the trust of the international community." President Roh Moo-hyun said it brought "a severe situation that threatens stability on the Korean Peninsula and in northeast Asia." CNN: North Korea claims nuclear test "THE MOST UNSTABLE AND MOST DANGEROUS" CLUB MEMBER: North Korea said Sunday night that it had set off its first nuclear test, becoming the eighth country in history, and arguably the most unstable and most dangerous, to proclaim that it has joined the club of nuclear weapons states. The test came just two days after the country was warned by the United Nations Security Council that the action could lead to severe consequences. American officials cautioned that they had not yet received any confirmation that the test had occurred. The United States Geological Survey said it had detected a tremor of 4.2 magnitude on the Korean Peninsula. China called the test a "flagrant and brazen" violation of international opinion and said it "firmly opposes" North Korea's conduct. New York Times: N. Korea Reports 1st Nuclear Arms Test KOLBE SAW FOLEY EMAILS "AS FAR BACK AS 2000": A Republican congressman knew of disgraced former representative Mark Foley's inappropriate Internet exchanges as far back as 2000 and personally confronted Foley about his communications. A spokeswoman for Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.) confirmed yesterday that a former page showed the congressman Internet messages that had made the youth feel uncomfortable with the direction Foley (R-Fla.) was taking their e-mail relationship. Last week, when the Foley matter erupted, a Kolbe staff member suggested to the former page that he take the matter to the clerk of the House, Karen Haas, said Kolbe's press secretary, Korenna Cline. The revelation pushes back by at least five years the date when a member of Congress has acknowledged learning of Foley's behavior with former pages. Washington Post: Lawmaker Saw Foley Messages In 2000 PROBE "MAY HINGE ON WHAT TRANSPIRED ON A FALL AFTERNOON LAST YEAR": For all the questions and curiosities, for all the contradictions and inconsistencies in the tale of Mark Foley, the investigation into how Republicans handled concerns about his conduct may hinge on what transpired on a fall afternoon last year, when a private meeting was hastily convened in his office. Jeff Trandahl, the clerk of the House, and Representative John Shimkus, an Illinois Republican who leads the board overseeing the Congressional page program, had come from the House floor to confront Mr. Foley, a Republican congressman from Florida, about reports that he had been exchanging e-mail messages with a Louisiana teenager who had worked as a page on Capitol Hill. New York Times: '05 Meeting Could Clarify G.O.P. Role in Foley Case FORDHAM WILL MEET ETHICS PANEL THIS WEEK: A former Republican congressional aide, who says he tried to warn the House speaker's top aide about then-Rep. Mark Foley's, R-Florida, inappropriate behavior towards pages, expects to testify this week before the House ethics committee. Kirk Fordham's attorney tells CNN he was in touch with the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct on Friday, and expects Fordham to tell the panel under oath what he has been saying publicly: that House Speaker Dennis Hastert's, R-Illinois, chief of staff, Scott Palmer, knew about Foley's worrisome conduct long before the speaker's office admits. CNN Political Ticker: Former Foley aide set to testify before ethics panel REYNOLDS TRAILS 48-33 IN NEW POLL: Democrat Jack Davis has opened a significant lead over Republican incumbent Thomas M. Reynolds in a congressional contest fueled by Reynolds' association with the Mark Foley sex scandal. Davis leads Reynolds 48 percent to 33 percent in a new Zogby International poll conducted for The Buffalo News, prompting pollster John Zogby to conclude that Davis poses a genuine threat to the longtime powerhouse from Clarence. "There is no other way to look at these numbers except to say Tom Reynolds is in trouble," the Utica-based Zogby said. The poll surveyed 402 likely voters in the 26th Congressional District on Wednesday and Thursday (with a margin for error of plus or minus 5 percentage points). Buffalo News: Reynolds is badly trailing Davis, poll shows EVANGELICALS DON'T SEE "INSTITUTIONAL DYSFUNCTION" IN GOP AFTER FOLEY: As word of Representative Mark Foley's sexually explicit e-mail messages to former pages spread last week, Republican strategists worried - and Democrats hoped - that the sordid nature of the scandal would discourage conservative Christians from going to the polls. But in dozens of interviews here in southeastern Virginia, a conservative Christian stronghold that is a battleground in races for the House and Senate, many said the episode only reinforced their reasons to vote for their two Republican incumbents in neck-and-neck re-election fights, Representative Thelma Drake and Senator George Allen... Most of the evangelical Christians interviewed said that so far they saw Mr. Foley's behavior as a matter of personal morality, not institutional dysfunction. New York Times: Evangelicals Blame Foley, Not Republican Party BUSH APPROVAL HITS NEW LOW IN NEWSWEEK POLL: For the first time since 2001, the NEWSWEEK poll shows that more Americans trust the Democrats than the GOP on moral values and the war on terror. Fully 53 percent of Americans want the Democrats to win control of Congress next month, including 10 percent of Republicans, compared to just 35 percent who want the GOP to retain power. If the election were held today, 51 percent of likely voters would vote for the Democrat in their district versus 39 percent who would vote for the Republican... Meanwhile, the president's approval rating has fallen to a new all-time low for the Newsweek poll: 33 percent, down from an already anemic 36 percent in August. Newsweek: A Political Limbo "PROBLEMS REMAIN" FOR MILITARY BALLOTS: The system used by military personnel to cast absentee votes is still not working well, six years after the problem was highlighted by disqualified ballots in the contested Florida recount of 2000, election officials say. But the Pentagon is releasing statistics and fact sheets to show that armed-forces voting is, in fact, increasing, with more avenues available to the estimated 1.7 million uniformed and civilian personnel in the states and abroad to obtain ballots. This year, Congress has heard from many sources, including the election commission and the Government Accountability Office, that problems remain less than a month before the Nov. 7 midterm elections. Washington Times: Military ballots still have glitches NY DEMS "POISED TO POUND GAVELS" AFTER NOVEMBER: New York lawmakers are poised to pound gavels as powerful congressional committee bosses should Democrats win control of the House and Senate next month amid the GOP congressional page scandal. Electing a Democratic majority on Nov. 7 - which would mean picking up 15 seats in the House and six in the Senate - would propel the dean of New York's congressional delegation into one of the most powerful roles in the House. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-Harlem) is poised to take the reins of the supremely influential Ways and Means Committee, which oversees the nation's tax laws... Rangel's New York City colleague Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-Brooklyn) is in line to take control of the Small Business Committee and Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-Rochester) is slated to run the Rules Committee. On the Senate side, Sen. Charles Schumer stands to gain the most from a Democratic victory as the boss of the Senate Democrats' election committee. New York Post: N.Y. POLS WINNERS IF DEMS TAKE D.C. ALLEN, WEBB SQUARE OFF IN VA: Virginia Sen. George Allen (R) pleaded last week for a debate on issues instead of character. He might get it Monday night in what could be his final face-to-face meeting with Democratic challenger James Webb. The two will square off for an hour at a Richmond television studio in a debate that will be televised live in the Richmond area and on WETA (Channel 26) in Northern Virginia. The 8 p.m. debate will be moderated by Russ Mitchell, co-anchor of "The Saturday Early Show" on CBS. The debate could set the tone for the final month of the campaign as both men struggle to communicate their positions on issues that have been largely overshadowed by personal controversy. Washington Post: Debate May Shift Focus To Issues AP REPORTS ALLEN "FAILED TO REPORT STOCK OPTIONS": For the past five years, Sen. George Allen has failed to tell Congress about stock options he got for his work as a director of a high-tech company. The Virginia Republican also asked the Army to help another business that gave him similar options. Congressional rules require senators to disclose to the Senate all deferred compensation, such as stock options. The rules also urge senators to avoid taking any official action that could benefit them financially or appear to do so. Those requirements exist so the public can police lawmakers for possible conflicts of interest, especially involving companies with government business that lawmakers can influence. Allen's stock options date to the period from January 1998 to January 2001 when Allen was between political jobs and had plunged into the corporate world. AP via Yahoo! News: Allen failed to report stock options TALENT, McGASKILL BATTLE ON "MEET": Missouri GOP Sen. Jim Talent and Democratic rival Claire McCaskill battled Sunday over the House page scandal and the leadership of President George W. Bush in a nationally televised debate. Engaged in one of the tightest and most closely watched races in the country, Talent and McCaskill disagreed on the first question out of the box on NBC's "Meet the Press": Whether House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., should resign amid questions about his handling of the congressional page sex scandal. McCaskill, Missouri's state auditor, said yes... Polls show the Senate race in Missouri to be a dead heat, one of a handful of contests that will determine which party controls the Senate after November. St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Two not of a kind: Talent, McCaskill on 'Meet the Press' NO NEEDED "BREAKTHROUGH" FOR ANGELIDES AT DEBATE: Worried Democrats said Sunday that Phil Angelides failed to achieve the breakthrough he needed in the sole gubernatorial debate and expressed fear that his campaign's trajectory threatened others on the statewide ticket... Though few thought Angelides did poorly in the debate, there was wide agreement that Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger benefited the most from Saturday night's allotted 55-minute session, largely because nothing occurred to change the essential dynamic of the race. Angelides, the state treasurer, entered the evening desperately needing to redefine a contest that by all measures - polling, fundraising, party morale - was going badly for him. And he needed the lift not just for himself, but for fellow Democratic candidates counting on him to spur a strong turnout Nov. 7. Los Angeles Times: Angelides Seen as a Drag on the Party KERRY'S ADVISERS CONVINCED HE'S RUNNING: Yesterday , Senator John F. Kerry was in Iowa. Tomorrow and Wednesday, he'll be in Nevada. On Friday, he'll be in New Hampshire. After that, he'll visit 11 more states, including South Carolina, before the Nov. 7 election. With a frenetic pace of barnstorming and fund-raising on behalf of Democratic candidates, Kerry's moves over the last several months have convinced his inner circle that he intends to launch another run for president. Kerry himself insisted he has not decided whether to run. But more than a dozen longtime loyalists interviewed for this story said they had no doubt that Kerry would attempt what a host of Washington doubters think unimaginable: become the first Democrat in half a century to lose a general election and be renominated four years later. Boston Globe: Kerry's barnstorming sparks talk of a run CLARK IN DES MOINES... JUST "HERE FOR 2006": Former presidential candidate and retired Gen. Wesley Clark said Sunday that any positive solution to the deteriorating situation in Iraq would have to come with a new presidency - and a Democratic Congress. "This administration is driving us into a ditch. You can't stay the course, and you've got to find a new direction," said Clark, who was in Des Moines to campaign for U.S. Rep. Leonard Boswell, D-Ia. Clark's apparent furor over the war wasn't shared only with reporters. In a conversation with Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Ia., and Rep. Jim Oberstar, D-Minn., he pounded a fist into one hand when making the point, telling them he would do "everything I can" to change the course of the war. Clark was mum on whether he would launch a 2008 presidential bid. He said he was "here for 2006." Des Moines Register: Clark attends D.M. rally to campaign for Boswell WHY McGREEVEY DIDN'T SHOW ON LETTERMAN: David Letterman made a big deal recently about former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey failing to show up to read one of his Top 10 lists. Letterman was under the impression he would be on hand to deliver "Chapter Titles in Jim McGreevey's Book," including "The Day I Got Caught Governing Myself," "How To Pretend to Like Girls for 47 Years" and "The New Jersey Budget Crisis--What Would Judy Garland Do?" It didn't happen. Instead, the list was delivered by writer Gerard Mulligan... "Actually I was on Jon Stewart's show that same day," McGreevey told Armour & Co. when we sat down with him a few days ago. "The plan was the possibility of a sit-down interview and also to do the Top 10 list." McGreevey said he ultimately begged off because his message of not living in fear because of your lifestyle might have been lost in the funny. "That was the message and that sort of was the concern with the Letterman show," he said. Chicago Tribune: Letterman gig wasn't right, McGreevey says |
