Today on The Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Kerry Picket of the Washington Times joins us to give us the latest from Capitol Hill.  In the second half hour, Mary Katharine Ham rejoins us to discuss the hottest political topics of the day.  In bonus time, John Randall of the NRCC returns to update us on the hot races — and on the retreating Democratic firewall.

The Ed Morrissey Show and its dynamic chatroom can be seen on the permanent TEMS page — be sure to join us, and don’t forget to keep up with the debate on my Facebook page, too!

Also, Pepsi has its Refresh Everything “Good Idea” contest, in which people vote for the best ideas to see which get funding at the end of October. Winning one of the $50,000 grants would put us in excellent shape to continue our ministry to marriages. People can vote for TCME at the Refresh Everything page or right here in this widget, and can cast one vote each day from each computer to which voters have access:

We joke a lot about politics and voting, but in this case, the Chicago Way applies — vote early, vote often, and vote every day! If you don’t want to register for the contest, simply text “103165” to Pepsi (73774) from your cell phone every day.
