Today on The Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Kerry Picket returns to give us the skinny in the nation’s capital from the Washington Times.  She’ll bring us up to date on her blog, the Water Cooler, and her reporting from Capitol Hill.  Next, Congressional candidate Renee Ellmers returns to update us on her race against incumbent Democrat Bob Etheridge in North Carolina’s 2nd CD.  We’ll take questions for Renee from the chatroom on the issues and find out where she stands in this tough but winnable district.

In bonus minutes, King Banaian returns to review the week’s gloomy economic news, and to update us on his own race to represent St. Cloud in Minnesota’s state legislature.

The Ed Morrissey Show and our dynamic, fun chat room can be seen on the permanent TEMS page!
