Today the Governor released the following statement regarding former White
House Press Secretary Scott McClellan’s revelation that President Bush was involved
in efforts to mislead the American public about the disclosure of a CIA operative’s
identity:
Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends. Our troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the globe help make our Thanksgiving possible. When I gather around the table with my family, we will give thanks for the troops who honor our nation with their service. We remember them on this day when they are so far away from family and loved ones, and we keep them in our thoughts and prayers. The service of those in our armed forces reminds me of our larger mission as a nation — to build a “more perfect union” worthy of their sacrifice and striving to be a just and free nation for all people. This Thanksgiving, let us all celebrate, honor, and give thanks for the members of our armed services. I join with their families and friends praying for their safety and for a peace that will soon bring them home.

John Edwards:
Nov. 21: Democratic presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Joe Biden received his 14th political endorsement from an Iowa legislator this morning, Iowa State Rep. Bruce Hunter of Des Moines.
“We know Joe Biden has it all together on foreign policy, education and social values,” Rep. Hunter remarked, “but what really turned the trick for me was his humility. When you talk with him, you see how much he really cares about this country and about our future.”

Dean Barker, in a recommended diary at Daily Kos, writes, “Dodd led the successful fight against telecom immunity. I’m happy to see his leadership on the rule of law continues to shine here.
