John Ensign‘s fellow believers had to confront him twice before he finally ended his affair with Cindy Hampton, the New Yorker finds in an article that delves into the quasi-Christian group behind the infamous C Street house.

Democrats who cast “no” votes on health care reform earlier this year are highlighting those votes in their re-election bids, while Politico couldn’t locate a Democrat running on having voted “yes” on the law. Maybe if it had included a public option?

The New York Times reports Democrats are planning a “triage” of House seats by reviewing new poll data, in order to send dollars to seats where they have a chance to win. That may be bad news for U.S. Rep. Dina Titus, whose seat is listed as “competitive” and who needs national dollars to beat back Republican Joe Heck.

Brian Sandoval is navigating the tension that plagues the entire Republican Party, between attracting Latino voters and advancing positions that those voters reject, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Young people are still socially liberal, but they want the economy to improve so they can get jobs, and the Democrats just aren’t doing it for them, says the New York Times.

That’s the take of CityLife Publisher Geoff Schumacher on the most monied of Nevada’s 2010 U.S. Senate candidates, John Chachas.
