Heck on EMILY’s List
The pro-woman fund is targeting Joe Heck, most particularly for voting against an insurance mandate to cover the HPV vaccine that is linked to cervical cancer.

And isn’t an increased cost worth it if it saves lives?
Coburn lied about Ensign affair, too?
DailyKos reviews a recently published account of the C Street residents confronting John Ensign about his affair, and finds some discrepancies from the story told by U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn about his role in the matter.
Angle: ‘I’ll be a mainstream senator’
Sharron Angle tells CNN that Harry Reid has misquoted her and that “I’ll be a mainstream senator” if elected.
