Ekmj Dean: Only A Democrat Will End Iraq War
CBS News projects that embattled Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, has been elected to a second term.Brownback was one of two Republicans in Kansas who faced tough re-elections: Sen. Pat Robe stanley tumbler rts, R-Kansas, was the only seriously endangered Republican senator this cycle. He is also projected to win his race against independent challenger Greg Orman, helping the Republicans to secure the Senate majority.Aided by a Republican legislature, Brownback oversaw the aggressive implementation of conservative policies ranging from deep income tax cuts to restrictions on abortion and a slashing of state welfare programs. But the side affects of those policies, including a drop in revenue and the threat of a budget deficit in 2015, created an opening for Paul Davis, the House minority leader. Davis had opened up a slim lead in recent weeks, in part by attracting moderate Republicans who have been alienated by Brownback.

The none-too-subtle messages to Tehran began earlier this week with the president himself, who said in an interview with Al-Arabiya that if countries like Iran are willing to unclench their fist, they will find an extended hand from us stanley mugs .Secretary of St stanley mug ate Hillary Clinton made much the same point Tuesday in her first meeting with reporters: There is a clear opportunity for the Iranians, as the president expressed in his interview, to demonstrate some willingness to engage meaningfully with the international community, she said. Whether or not that hand becomes less clenched is really up to them. State Department acting Spokesman Robert Wood was more blunt: Iran knows the steps that it needs to take.
