A new somewhat optimistic START article in the Boston Globe

[karynnj]

It speaks of Kerry having spent the weekend intensely lobbying fellow Senators by phone and that he flew to meet with Biden over the recess.

Some interesting points,
- McCain is vaguely signally that there could be a vote this year
- Brown is - as usual - studying the bill and has no position
- Republican hypocrisy knows no bounds - Kyl, Lamar and Corker want money for their state - over and above what has already been offered to get them to vote for a treaty continuing their hero Reagan's work - right after they joined Republicans in rejecting earmarks, which these would be!
