Mid-morning Update

A few items overlooked in this morning’s link dump:

Joe Bruno has registered as a lobbyist.

The New York State Teachers Union is refusing to back 38 legislators who have supported Governor Paterson’s property tax cap.

And nationally, Nancy Pelosi is pouring some gasoline on the Dump Lieberman fire.

Also, I have a new column up this morning, arguing that polling data shows that John McCain has much more latitude with the G.O.P. base than most people realize.
