House Judiciary Committee Chair John Conyers has issued resolutions today in the White House / US Attorney firing scandal.

The other holds Josh Bolten and Harriet Miers in criminal contempt for ignoring subpoenas. Paul Kiel has the goods at TPM Muckraker.

McCain is now making his case that it is mathematically impossible for Mike Huckabee to win the Republican nomination. The office pool starts now.

Well, that didn't take long. Senator Barack Obama is projected to win both the District of Columbia and Maryland according to CNN.

Senator John McCain held former Governor Mike Huckabee at bay in Virginia and defeated him in D.C. and Maryland, too. Huckabee did better in Virginia thanks to higher than expected evangelical turnout, a demographic that exit polls showed broke 3 to 1 for Huckabee over McCain.
