Bono and Friends Open Bid to Make World Poverty a Focus of '08 Race

So far, Gingrich is a non-candidate for the presidency, chiming in from the sidelines. But he is sounding more and more like a man who wants to live in the White House. His e-mail ended with a tantalizing -- and presidential -- promise: "NEXT WEEK: A PLAN FOR SOLVING IMMIGRATION AND THE BORDER WITHOUT AN OMNIBUS BILL."

-- Michael D. Shear

Two New TV Ads From Dodd

Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) is releasing two ads in early-voting states, one that stresses a new development in the presidential candidate's life, and another that emphasizes his experience.

The first talks about how his daughter, Grace, was born on Sept. 13, 2001, and "I was blessed to become a first-time father at age 57."

"I want my campaign to be about all of our children," he says, with a picture of him and his family on the screen.

The second discusses Dodd's history, how at age 22 he joined the Peace Corps and, in the Senate, "his Family and Medical Leave Act has allowed 50 million Americans to take time off to care for a newborn or sick family member. . . . He's worked with world leaders to build alliances and end conflicts."

-- Zachary A. Goldfarb

Quotable

"The one fact I've learned -- I can't get out of my mind -- is that Rudy Giuliani's been married more times than Mitt Romney's been hunting."

-- Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid, speaking at the Center for American Progress. Giuliani is on his third marriage, and Romney has acknowledged he has been hunting only twice after saying he had been a hunter all his life.
