Thursday 11 March

After John Kerry discovered the dangers of an open mic the other day, the row has rumbled on after he said he wasn't referring directly to the President or to Republicans in general, but to the campaign's "attack dogs" - a reference thought to include some of the leading conservative talk show hosts.

The left's response in that area, Al Franken's Liberal Talk Radio Network, is about to kick off.

President Bush is in New York today at the groundbreaking ceremony for the September 11 memorial, just days after the controversy over his use of 9/11 images in his campaign ads, and just hours after the horrific bomb attacks in Madrid offered a reminder of the constant threat of terrorism.

Meanwhile with Zero Four currently travelling in Arizona, speculation is growing that one of this state's favourite sons, Republican senator John McCain, is being touted as a possible Kerry running mate.

It has a certain attraction. Kerry would be able to claim that he was presenting a government of national unity-in-waiting, while McCain's lingering resentment of his treatment by the Bush team during the 2000 primaries would make for some campaign fireworks.

How might John Edwards feel, though? Would Attorney-General be enough for him?
