The scramble for the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee is likely to be prolonged and complicated. Traditionally, the president s party defers to his preference for chairman so when Barack Obama announces his pick, his word will almost certainly be final.

This is the time to get real relief to senior citizens who are getting mugged at the pharmacy counter, Democratic Senator Ron Wyden said. The pharmaceutical industry has spent nearly $263 million on lobbying so far this year, employing three lobbyists for every member of Congress, according to OpenSecrets, which tracks money in politics.

The Watertown Times reports that Democrat Bill Owens now leads Hoffman by 3,105 votes with only 3,072 absentee ballots to be counted. Even if every one of those ballots went to Hoffman, he still couldn t close the gap.Hoffman formally announced Wednesday that he was withdrawing his election night concession, echoing a comment on Glenn Beck s radio show. He blamed community-organizing group ACORN for stealing the election, though he provided no evidence. Owens was sworn into Congress earlier this month, and he voted in favor of the health care reform bill that narrowly passed the House.
