Blue Radar

As I post each morning, here are some of the political stories thatmight not be worthy of their own posts, but are nonetheless newsworthy:

• President Bush has chosen Robert Zoellick as the new head of the World Bank, replacing Paul Wolfowitz.
• Bush's approval rating has hit 28% in the latest Harris Poll.
• The Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 vote that women can not wait before filing sex discrimination lawsuits.  However, as Ginsburg read in her dissenting opinion, women usually do not know that they are victims of sexual discrimination until later on.  Forcing them to file a lawsuit early also increases the likelihood that the case would be "less-than-fully baked," as Ginsburg put it.
• Frustrated by his party's likely political predicament in 2008, Congressman Walter Jones (R-NC) suggested that Paul Wolfowitz should be sent to Iraq: "I would like to suggest...that maybe we give Paul Wolfowitz a new joband send him over [to Iraq] as mayor, since the neocons got us in over there."  (Yes, and your party helped us get over there too!)
• GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney is pledging to donate all of his salary if he becomes president.  (This is one to write down, just in case he does win the presidency.)
• Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa has endorsed Hillary Clinton.  (This is by far the most significant political victory for Hillary.)
• The Democratic presidential candidates will debate in New Hampshire on Sunday at 7 PM ET.  It will last 2 hours.
• A signed doodle by Barack Obama was sold on eBay for $2,075 over the weekend.
• Iowa Democrats (ARG): Clinton - 31%, Edwards - 25%, Obama - 11%, Richardson - 8%.
• New Hampshire Democrats (ARG): Clinton - 34%, Edwards - 18%, Obama - 15%, Richardson - 9%.
• South Carolina Democrats (ARG): Clinton - 34%, Edwards - 30%, Obama - 18%.
