GOP senators' auto alternative offers distinction without differenceTennessee Republican Bob Corker Wednesday morning asked fellow senators to approve an alternative to the $14 billion auto industry bailout approved by the House Wednesday night. Coker is among a group of GOP senators adamantly opposed to the bailout bill. The others include Sens. John Ensign, R-Nev., Tom Coburn, R-Okla., Jim DeMint, R-S.C., David Vitte, R-La., and Richard Shelby, R-Ala. Their main objection is ideological opposition to the presidentially appointed "czar" who would be empowered to bring the carmakers together with their lenders, suppliers, dealers and workers and force all to accept debt write-downs and other "haircuts" in the... TARP opponents could take charge of GOPWhen Democrats lost seats in the 2002 midterm congressional election, then-House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt quietly decided not to run for re-election for that position. With Republicans losing House seats in both 2006 and 2008, expect GOP members to push for changes to their leadership.

Wall Street prefers Democrats?Last week both Carl Icahn and Warren Buffett announced their picks for the upcoming presidential sweepstakes. Icahn let his selection be known through an unexpected rant against Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., during an investor conference, and Buffett offered a seemingly offhand comment -- although is anything really offhand with Buffett? -- praising Obama to a journalist.
