Monday Morning Roundup - Happy Martin Luther King Day

The Monday news:

I hope you're having a pleasant and thoughtful Martin Luther King Day. Take a few minutes to re-read the I Have a Dream speech here.

Colorado: Republican Wayne Allard will announce his retirement vs. re-election bid intentions later today.

Minnesota: Minnesota Public Radio questions whether Republican Norm Coleman's flip-flop on Iraq is motivated by principles or politics. Call me a cynic, but I'd guess politics.

Louisiana: The Shreveport Times looks at incumbent Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu's role as a leading centrist in the Senate. Hopefully, her leadership and centrist credibility in Louisiana will help her withstand the GOP's inevitable attacks as the 2008 election approaches.
