Drudge has word that ABC anchor Bob Woodruff and his camerman were seriously injured by an IED in Iraq. Our prayers go out to these folks, as they have for all fighting in Iraq. Journalists do perform brave and selfless acts, that is clear.

I went out on a limb last summer and predicted a Rep pick up of 3 seats. Alexander McClure at Polipundit provides me some confidence in my predictions: A new Rasmussen Poll has the Minnesota Senate race a near-tie between Klobuchar and Kennedy.
