Our family of five: Husband and wife; children ages 16, 12 and 9 will be in Italy for 13 days, including three full days in Rome. On the first complete day, Monday, that we are in Rome, I would like to visit the Vatican museums (in the morning) and would like to pre-book our tours (we leave in 9 days, there is still some availability on the tour companies that I am looking at).
My question to fellow Fodorites (thank you, in advance):
1) Vatican online (the Vatican itself) has a tour which is roughly $219 (total), but it does not state whether you skip the line, simply that you have to go to the advance booking line.
2) Viator has a tour for $399 where they prominently state they skip the lines. I have read good reviews generally online about them.
3) Walks of Itay has a tour for $373, where it does not state whether they skip the lines. This is not the Serene Sistine Chapel, since I do not think I can motivate my folks to be there in time for a 7:30 tour.
What is a better thing to do? While I am keeping my eye on the expenses, the price difference is not that tremendous. I would rather go for the Vatican tour itself, but do not know the the quality of the guides over the ones from the tour companies. Any insights are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
p.s. If anyone has any other company they recommend, that would be great, too!

Hello KaneezM - highly recommend Walks of Italy tour company. I chose their Colosseum/Forum Tour in April 2010 based on the Fodors forum and was very impressed with the tour guide Jason Spiehler (he turned out to be owner of the company.)
Last July two friends of mine did two tours with Walks of Italy - Pristine Sistine and Colosseum Underground/Ancient Rome. They thought both tour guides were excellent, liked the small group size, and did not have to wait in lines.
My friends also had doubts about getting up early for the Pristine Sistine tour but wanted to avoid the crowds and were so glad they did the 7:30 a.m. tour. By getting into the Vatican that early they could view the Sistine Chapel before the public enters - otherwise it is wall to wall people. They also enjoyed their Underground Colosseum Tour in case you're considering that as well.
Would suggest you contact Walks of Italy if you have any questions - as I recall they were very responsive. Bon Voyage!

We recently got back from Italy, and took both the Pristine Sistine and the VIP Underground Colosseum tours with Walks of Italy. We would recommend both tours and the company. The guides were very professional, knowledgeable and personable. Having a small group was great, and we skipped the lines in both places. Getting early access before the crowds to the Sistine Chapel was really worth the money. Try to get everyone up early one day, and do it.
Have a great trip!

We booked Vatican Small Group tour and as they are really just consolidators, we ended up with a tour led by: http://www.darkrome.com/
Our guide was excellent! Highly recommend using this company.

I meant to say that we booked our tour thru Viator and that THEY were a consolidator, so that we ended up being on a tour led by Dark Rome Tours. {an edit function would be so nice}

>>>but it does not state whether you skip the line, <<<
Yes, you skip the lines with the Vatican's own tour. You also skip the lines if you buy entrance only tickets from the Vatican online. Another option, is tour yourself by renting the Vatican's audio guides (7€) which would allow you to take a break or two (there is a cafeteria and pizza in the museums). There are also audio guides available at St. Peter's if you feel you need them.

We also did the Walks of Italy Pristine Sistine tour in May and were so glad that we did. Our tour guide was excellent (he is an artist and does tours "to pay the bills") and interjected humor into his tour. The small group of 12 was a definite advantage. Once the museum became very crowded toward the end of the tour, it would have been very difficult staying with the group had it been larger as many other groups were. We loved being in the Sistine Chapel when it was uncrowded and we could sit on the benches along the walls and enjoy the beautiful paintings. The Vatican museum was also uncrowded for about the first half of the tour, which made it easier and more enjoyable to see the paintings, tapestries, etc. St Peter's Basilica was at the end of the tour and we stayed to spend more time in the church and go down to the crypt.
You definitely skip the line on this tour, and I would guess that you do on the others as well. We were asked to assemble at a restaurant (which was open for breakfast) near the Varican by 7:20 am. There were 6 groups of 12, each with a separate guide. We did the short walk to the Vartican and were given information while we waited for it to open to private groups at 8 am. (Silence is expected in the Sistine Chapel so the guides explain what you will see before you go in. Everyone had headphones to listen to the guide for the entire tour.) We were staying near Campo Di Fiori and made a dry run on the bus the night before so that we would know exactly how to get there. For a family, it would probably be as economical to take a taxi as some others did.
Go to Rick Steves website and look for a discount code that allows you to save 10% in addition to discounts for children, seniors, etc.
The Vatican was amazing but would be overwhelming without a guide and we would have left having seen a lot of beautiful things without knowing their meaning or history. Be prepared for lots of walking. My husband's step counter indicated that we walked almost 4 miles on the tour! But it was worth every step.

Another vote for the walks of italy tour. The pristine Sistine tour (if you can convince your group) is great and very worthwhile. I think we had the same tour guide as drchris. She was very animated and interesting.
My teenage daughters weren't thrilled about waking up early to do this but afterward were very glad they had.
Avoid going on a Saturday if at all possible due to the crowds.
Report Abuse
We were there the next day after you
How do I know? They told us about the 6 groups the prior day, because we were only 12. They broke us in 2 separate groups of 6, so it was almost like a private tour.
Great tour, and we learned so much!

Xyz99 - Perhaps we should have gone on Friday, (May 23) too! The Vatican was the most important thing for my husband to see, so we went there on our first full day in Rome and saved the Colosseum for Friday. We awakened to our only rain in 18 days (only had a few sprinkles in Bellagio) but thankfully it stopped by the time the Colosseum guide finished his introduction while we were still inside. There were a number of people on a Rick Steves "your way" tour in our group at the Vatican so perhaps that increased the number of people who usually take the Pristine Sistine tour.
Report Abuse
Hmmm...I guess there are more days with lots of people. We were there on a Tuesday (5/13). It rained/poured at times all morning, but we were inside the museum. By afternoon the rain stopped and I got some great pictures from the top of St. Peter. It was the only real rain we got during our 17 days trip. There were a couple of light drizzle days in Positano, but nothing to stop us from walking around and enjoy the town.

No "Certified Organic" Claim in Canada - Share your opinion
On the Canada Organic Office website, the directive is very clear:
"As all organic products, under the Canada Organic Regime, must be certified by a Canadian Food Inspection Agency accredited certification body, products bearing the claim "certified organic" are considered misleading. Having only some products labelled "certified organic", while others aren't, may mislead consumers into believing that products not bearing this claim are not certified. The statement "Certified by" immediately followed by the name of the certification body is acceptable as it denotes who has certified the product."

Lawnmower torches Arbor Vitae on Portland Drive
The riding lawn mower driven by Norma Cannon overheated and made contact with dry arbor vitae owned by Lee and Norma Curtis, sending more than a dozen of the tightly-packed trees up in flames. The mower, visible at far right, was totaled. No one was injured; neighbors first kept the fire at bay with garden hoses and Westside and Hood River Fire Departments responded and doused the fire before it reached any structures. Westside Fire chief Jim Trammell, in blue shirt, directs firefighters. The video was taken by Capt. Dave Smith of Hood River Fire Department. Enlarge

P John Wright: Second Black Player Signed After Jackie Robinson Never Made His Mark
Baseball America has the story of the second player the Dodgers signed from the Negro Leagues:

OK, show of hands. Who here had ever heard of John Wright before this article? I hadn't.2. BDC Posted: April 14, 2013 at 10:22 PM (#4414197)
I'll admit I hadn't, though I'd read Arnold Rampersad's biography of Robinson pretty thoroughly (and "taught" it once). I'll have to check it again.3. The Anthony Kennedy of BBTF (Scott) Posted: April 14, 2013 at 10:39 PM (#4414210)

He's come up here a couple of times, and I thought his name had been mentioned in one of the earlier 42 threads. But Google isn't pulling anything (aside from this) over the last year.6. crict Posted: April 14, 2013 at 10:58 PM (#4414219)
Ok, even tougher. Who was the third signed?7. crict Posted: April 14, 2013 at 11:29 PM (#4414228)
Edit of the previous post: After checking, the guy I was thinking about was not the third signed. But, in 1946, he was the only black player in Organized baseball not in the Dodgers organization.8. jdennis Posted: April 15, 2013 at 12:21 AM (#4414244)
i looked up the black players of the late 40s and early 50s recently on bbref9. Howie Menckel Posted: April 15, 2013 at 07:14 AM (#4414286)
there's this stereotype that except in hockey and other extremely white sports, the first black players were always all stars. i guess this is true to a degree for obvious reasons. but there were tons of guys shortly after robinson who were in there for like 6 games or something. i'm exaggerating, but they did not have sustained careers. it's depressing in a way because it makes them look like a gimmick when they obviously weren't.
wasn't he the FIRST black player signed after Jackie Robinson?10. Mark Armour Posted: April 15, 2013 at 11:38 AM (#4414460)
Most of the early post-Jackie black players were stars. Some of the stars did not stay in the majors long, at least partly because they could not withstand the abuse. Of the first 10, six are in the Hall of Fame--three for their work in the majors, two for their work pre-majors (Paige, Willard Brown), and one for a bit of both (Irvin). The other four include Minoso (who I believe should be in the Hall) and Newcombe, both of whom were stars. That leaves Thompson, an excellent player though it took a few years, and Bankhead, who did not make it. It was a pretty tough minefield, but this is a good crop.11.

There's a book on these guys that I've wanted to buy but can't remember the title of - focus is on older NL rookies from the first few post-integration years (like Sam Jethroe) - does anyone know it?12. Johnny Sycophant-Laden Fora Posted: April 15, 2013 at 11:48 AM (#4414466)
OK, show of hands. Who here had ever heard of John Wright before this article? I hadn't.
"John Wright" no, though I had vaguely heard that Dodgers had signed SOMEONE to be Jackie's roomie so to speak.
wasn't he the FIRST black player signed after Jackie Robinson?
Yes, this is correct.
I blew it. I was trying to figure out how to summarize the article (the article's actual title is kind of long and not as descriptive) and conflated the two lines I was thinking of.
The article also was not written by P. John Wright.
The quick synopsis on John Wright from Jules Tygiel in "Baseball's Great Experiment:"15. ERROR---Jolly Old St. Nick Posted: April 15, 2013 at 12:14 PM (#4414479)
Unclear where he fit in Rickey's scheme. Said to have been signed as a companion for Robinson, yet several major-leaguers who had faced him in exhibitions predicted success. Bottom line quotes -- Don Newcombe: "He didn't have a major league fastball." Robinson: "John couldn't stand the pressure of going into the new league [IL presumbably] and being one of the first."
He apparently pitched well in one early mop-up appearance for Montreal before being demoted, at which point another African American pitcher, Roy Partlow, was signed as a replacement.
As an aside, I'm saddened that Jules isn't here to give us his take on "42." It's been a quick five years since his passing.

You may be thinking of Crossing The Line by Larry Moffi and Jonathan Kronstadt. It's got short biographical sketches of the first 100+ African American Major Leaguers who made their debuts from 1947 through 1959.
That's not it (I read the one I'm thinking of 15-20 years ago), but I may pick that one up; thanks!17. Shooty is obsessed with the latest hoodie Posted: April 15, 2013 at 01:00 PM (#4414526)

I had! I mentioned he'd be an interesting subject for a movie in the 42 review thread.

Very true. He was, and I mean this entirely literally, a scholar and a gentleman.

This year's Veterans Day observances at Centennial Hall on Monday featured remarks by Governor Sean Parnell and special presentations to those who've volunteered at the American Legion Auke Bay Post 25.
"We are here today to use honor as a verb and to give honor," said Parnell.
To those of you who have served and have lived beyond yourselves for us, we're here to give thanks, to say 'thank you' because you and many before you as patriots understand that our freedom is not free. And you have paid a high price for it. Our families have paid a high price for it."
American Legion Post 25 Commander Dick Hand presented awards to Sean Goertzen and Dr. Richard Welling who've volunteered their time and equipment, or helped organize volunteer work parties.
Amercian Legion Post Commander Dick Hand noted the absence of post member and CBJ Assemblymember Randy Wanamaker who has also helped with renovations at the building. Wanamaker is in Hudson County, New Jersey where they will dedicate the U.S.S. Juneau Memorial Center on Wednesday. It'll be U.S.S. Juneau Remembrance Day in the town where the ship was built over 70 years ago.
"We have a proclamation that was signed by the Mayor that is being presented by (Wanamaker) for the U.S.S. Juneau Memorial that is being built back in New Jersey," said Hand. "So, this is a new memorial that is being done."
A new memorial to the U.S.S Juneau was dedicated on the Juneau waterfront last year.
It was 71 years ago on Wednesday, November 13th that the U.S.S. Juneau was sunk at the naval battle of Guadalcanal. As many as 600 crewmen and officers immediately lost their lives out of the original crew of nearly 700. Only ten men survived exposure and shark attacks rescued eight days later.
Another Veterans Day observance commemorating Southeast Alaska Native veterans was simultaneously held at the Elizabeth Peratovich Building on Monday morning.

Neuroscientists from The University of Texas at Austin and the Salk Institute have discovered that connections between brain cells, called synapses, can be grouped into more discrete sizes than was previously thought, and these discrete sizes are thought to predict different functional states.
Artists draw inspiration from science, scientists produce artistic images in their lab, and people who appreciate beauty can find examples of both in the gallery of College of Natural Sciences alumna Hayley Gillespie (PhD, Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, 2011).

Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered a mechanism that may explain how the brain can recall nearly all of what happened on a recent afternoon — or make a thorough plan for how to spend an upcoming afternoon — in a fraction of the time it takes to live out the experience. The breakthrough in understanding a previously unknown function in the brain has implications for research into schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, Alzheimer's disease and other disorders where real experiences and ones that exist only in the mind can become distorted.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Soccer joined the growing legal debate over head injuries Wednesday after FIFA and some of the sport's governing bodies in the United States were made the target of a lawsuit seeking new safety rules.
A group of soccer parents and players filed the lawsuit in federal court in San Francisco. Lawyers representing the parents and players are asking a judge to grant the lawsuit class-action status on behalf of thousands of current and former soccer players who competed for teams governed by FIFA and several U.S.-based soccer organizations.
The NFL, NHL and NCAA have all faced similar lawsuits.
In a proposed legal settlement in another case, the NCAA last month said it will toughen return-to-play rules for players who receive head blows. It also agreed to create a $70 million fund to pay for thousands of current and former athletes to undergo testing to determine whether they suffered brain trauma.
Seattle-based lawyer Steve Berman helped negotiate the NCAA settlement and also represents the soccer parents and players who filed the lawsuit Wednesday. The soccer lawsuit doesn't demand monetary damages, but it is demanding that the soccer governing bodies alter safety rules including limiting headers for players 17 years old and younger.
"We believe it is imperative we force these organizations to put a stop to hazardous practices that put players at unnecessary risk," Berman said.
The lawsuit also wants FIFA to allow for temporary medical substitutions of players that don't count toward the maximum three replacements allowed in most FIFA-sponsored matches.
FIFA medical committee chairman Michel D'Hooghe said Wednesday he had no knowledge of the case.
"However, FIFA has faced other lawsuits before and has won them," D'Hooghe told The Associated Press in Monaco ahead of the Champions League draw.
FIFA's medical committee is next scheduled to meet Sept. 22 in Zurich.
The lawsuit alleges that nearly 50,000 high school soccer players suffered concussions in 2010.

DiscountFurnaceFilter.com hopes the effort boosts its repeat business.
Roughly 80% of online filter and humidifier retailer DiscountFurnaceFilter.com's business comes from new customers. Because many of the retailer's products, like furnace filters, only last a few months, DiscountFurnaceFilter figured that it was missing out on a significant growth opportunity by not encouraging those one-time buyers to return.
"We realized that by staying in closer contact with our customer base and bringing them back into the fold we had a tremendous growth opportunity," says Will Housh, president and CEO of Housh Inc., the retailer's parent company.
While the retailer had sent out e-mail blast promotions a few times a year to every consumer who had ever registered an e-mail address on the site, those promotions were time-consuming and an administrative nightmare, says Housh. Even so, the open rate of those e-mails ranged between 18% and 20%, with a conversion rate between 5% and 7%.
To improve the effectiveness of its messaging, in September the retailer began working with Listrak to improve results from its e-mail messages, and to tailor messages to specific audiences.
Using Listrak's purchase cadence optimization offering, which sends automated e-mails that prompt customers to repurchase the exact products they purchased in the past, DiscountFurnaceFilter.com has boosted its e-mail open rate to 24%. The e-mail messages have nearly a 10% click-through rate.
The retailer currently is sending targeted messages to consumers focused only on the specific SKU the consumer bought in the past. Of the site's nearly 12,000 SKUs, it is sending targeted messages for several hundred, with plans to add more in the coming months.
By increasing its repeat business, DiscountFurnaceFilter.com will reduce its costs because it won't rely on acquiring new customers to increase sales, says Housh.
"From a cost control perspective, this just makes sense," he says.

Drownings, bad weather prompt water warningSaturday March 16, 2013 - 23:59 EDT
Two people have drowned and another is missing as authorities in New South Wales warn of dangerous conditions in the water.
Paramedics have been called to about a dozen near-drownings in Sydney on Saturday.
Authorities say a 23-year-old man died after he jumped into a blowhole and was swept out to sea at Warriewood on Sydney's Northern Beaches.
Another 23-year-old man is also missing after he was washed off the rocks at North Curl Curl.
Meanwhile, a one-year-old boy has drowned in a backyard pool at Mulgoa in Sydney's west.
NSW Ambulance Service spokeswoman Jacqueline Levett says most of the beach incidents have been near rocks.
"We're advising people not to take unusually high risks around rocks, most of the incidents appear to be because of weather conditions," she said.
"We also have been advised by the Bureau of Meteorology that we're expecting a southerly change into Sunday morning making these water conditions even worse."

Cards exhibit opening-day lineup in 4-2 victory over Central rival
JUPITER, Fla. -- For the first time this spring, the St. Louis Cardinals fielded their opening-day lineup. That means right fielder Larry Walker's back is feeling a lot better.
Walker was 0-for-2 and played four innings in a 4-2 victory over the Houston Astros on Thursday. He'd been limited since the start of spring training by lower back soreness but said he probably could have played four days earlier.
"I felt great," Walker said. "Got a couple of balls hit to me, so I was able to move. And I hit the ball all right my first time up. I felt comfortable, felt all right."
Walker, 38, said playing was a lot easier on him than the workouts he's been going through trying to get ready. He went to bed early Wednesday night believing he was in for another grueling session.
"I didn't know I was playing today until I got to the park, so I thought it was going to be more of a workout day for me, which is harder than actually playing," Walker said.
Manager Tony La Russa is giving Walker the day off Friday but said he'd likely play Saturday and Sunday.
Chris Carpenter, who'll start the season opener at Houston on April 5, pitched four strong innings in his second outing of the spring. He allowed one run on three hits with three strikeouts, following up three scoreless innings in his first outing.
"The first couple of innings I was up, and the last two innings I was down," Carpenter said. "As the game went on, I got progressively better."
Carpenter outpitched Brandon Backe, who won Game 5 of the NLCS over the Cardinals last fall. Carpenter, who won a career-best 15 games, didn't pitch in the postseason after sustaining nerve damage to his biceps last September.
Backe had difficulty with his control, who allowed two hits in three innings but walked five and gave up three runs in three innings.
Reggie Sanders hit a two-run single after consecutive walks to Albert Pujols, Scott Rolen and Jim Edmonds to start the fourth, putting the Cardinals ahead 3-1. Yadier Molina had a sacrifice fly in the second and Skip Schumaker had a sacrifice fly in the eighth for St. Louis, which totaled three hits against four Houston pitchers.
Ezequiel Astacio, the second Astros pitcher, worked three hitless innings.
Chris Burke tripled and scored on Mike Lamb's RBI single in the first and Carlos Rivera had a run-scoring groundout in the ninth for the Astros.
Notes: Former President George Bush, a big Astros fan, was among those attending the game. Bush watched several innings from a luxury suite but left before the game ended. ... Cardinals second baseman Mark Grudzielanek had six straight hits after doubling in the second before the streak ended with a groundout to end the third. Grudzielanek said he had an 0-2 count on four of his hits. "You don't want to see that now," Grudzielanek said. "Bad luck. I want to save them." ... The Cardinals have won five straight since losing to the Mets to start the spring schedule.

I'm a Winner! (Black Maverick and From Mutual Aid to the Welfare State)
Also, Damon Root, at Reason, has has this to say about my most recent book (co-authored by Linda Royster Beito):
But my vote for the year's best book goes to David and Linda Beito's landmark biography Black Maverick: T.R.M. Howard's Fight for Civil Rights and Economic Power. Howard was a wealthy doctor, entrepreneur, and mutual aid leader who championed civil rights, capitalism, and armed self-defense amidst the lawlessness and state-sanctioned violence of Jim Crow Mississippi. As Black Maverick convincingly shows, no history of the civil rights movement is complete until it acknowledges Howard's indispensable contributions.

VIGO COUNTY -- Preliminary results of an autopsy conducted on the body of a dead female near the Clay-Vigo County line Monday indicated the woman died from blunt force trauma to the head.
According to media outlets and law enforcement officials, Vigo County Coroner Dr. Roland Kohr conducted the autopsy at approximately 10 a.m., Monday.
According to reports, Dr. Kohr said the body was in a severe decomposed state, meaning it could have been there for weeks.
On Sunday, Vigo County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Clark Cottom told The Brazil Times deputies responded to a report of the dead body off a gravel roadway one mile north of State Road 42 near the county line at approximately 6 p.m., Saturday.
Cottom said a local fisherman saw the body while driving home.
According to Cottom, the deceased female appears to be Caucasian between 20-40-years-old, with brown shoulder-length "corn-row" styled hair.
Cottom said the woman was wearing black colored pants and dark colored shoes.
The investigation is ongoing. Cottom added the department is sifting through missing persons reports from Indiana and Illinois.
Anyone with information regarding the investigation is urged to contact the Vigo County Sheriff's Department at 812-232-3801.

U.N. nuclear inspectors last year decided against issuing an assessment that may have elaborated on Iran's alleged nuclear studies, Reuters reports.
The proposed International Atomic Energy Agency document might have provided more information on experiments that Iran is suspected to have conducted in a possible bid for knowledge on building nuclear weapons, insiders told the news service for a Thursday report. They said the U.N. organization appeared to shelve the possibility as Iran launched a new diplomatic push on its atomic activities under President Hassan Rouhani, who was voted into office last June.
The agency findings — had they been disclosed — probably would have become an obstacle in efforts to resolve international fears that the Persian Gulf regional power is seeking an atomic-arms capacity under the guise of a peaceful nuclear program, according to Reuters. Iran, which contends its nuclear ambitions have been solely nonmilitary in nature, began discussions last week with the five permanent U.N. Security Council member nations and Germany on a potential long-term deal to address the fears.
Speaking to journalists on Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Washington wants "to figure out if before we go to war there actually might be a peaceful solution" to the dispute, Reuters reported separately.
Insiders suggested the scuttled IAEA analysis might have built on the contents of a 2011 assessment in which the agency outlined some of its key suspicions about the Middle Eastern nation's past nuclear efforts. Last week, the agency reported in a quarterly safeguards document that it had "obtained more information since November 2011 that has further corroborated the analysis contained in that annex."
Iran has challenged the authenticity of materials on which the IAEA suspicions are based. Earlier this month, though, Tehran agreed to respond to certain inquiries by a long-stalled agency probe intended to help confirm or debunk allegations about Iran's alleged past nuclear-related research.

Paul Ryan told CNN today he's "not ready" to back Donald Trump at this time. "I'm not there right now," he said.

And we've got a ways to go from here to there."
In The New Yorker, Jeffrey Toobin gives Preet Bharara, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, the longread treatment. The scourge of corrupt New York pols, bad actors on Wall Street, and New York gang members, Bharara learned at the foot of Chuck Schumer, the famously limelight-hogging senator whom he served as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee staff. No surprise then, that after President Obama appointed him, Bharara "brought a media-friendly approach to what has historically been a closed and guarded institution. In professional background, Bharara resembles his predecessors; in style, he's very different. His personality reflects his dual life in New York's political and legal firmament. A longtime prosecutor, he sometimes acts like a budding pol; his rhetoric leans more toward the wisecrack than toward the jeremiad. He expresses himself in the orderly paragraphs of a former high-school debater, but with deft comic timing and a gift for shtick."
President Obama has announced another round of commutations of prison sentences. Most of the 58 individuals named are incarcerated for possessions with intent to distribute controlled substances. The prisoners will be released between later this year and 2018.
The Daily Beast has unearthed a piece that Donald Trump wrote for Gear magazine in 2000, which anticipates his 2016 sales pitch quite well. "Perhaps it's time for a dealmaker who can get the leaders of Congress to the table, forge consensus, and strike compromise," he writes. Oddly, he opens by defending his reputation as a womanizer: "The hypocrites argue that a man who loves and appreciates beautiful women (and does so legally and openly) shouldn't become a national leader? Is there something wrong with appreciating beautiful women? Don't we want people in public office who show signs of life?"

The Blunt Amendment was voted down by the U.S. Senate yesterday, but the controversial measure is still serving as a rallying cry for Elizabeth Warren, who hopes to unseat Senator Scott Brown in Massachusetts. The bill would have allowed companies to deny insurance coverage to employees for contraception based on moral or religious reasons.
Searches today related to Warren, Brown, and the Blunt Amendment – sponsored by Republican Senator Roy Blunt – turn up ads for Warren. "Stop the Blunt Amendment… Join Elizabeth Warren's fight for women's health."
The Senate fight over the bill may be over, but the Warren campaign is banking on the issue, which pits concerns about religious freedom against women's healthcare, in order to generate support for the candidate. Warren has gained national popularity in recent years as a crusader for Wall Street reform. Her campaign to beat Brown, who stunned the political establishment by winning Ted Kennedy's long-held seat, is among the most closely watched of the 2012 congressional races.
The Kennedy name also became a political football in the Blunt battle. On Twitter a few days ago Warren declared, "Tell Scott Brown: respect the Kennedy family's wishes and stop invoking Ted Kennedy's name." The post linked to a petition on her site detailing a letter sent by Patrick Kennedy, Ted's son, to Brown.
"Providing health care to every American was the work of my father's life," noted Kennedy in the letter cited on Warren's website. "The Blunt Amendment you are supporting is an attack on that cause… I ask that, moving forward, you do not confuse my father's positions with your own." Brown purported that the late Kennedy would have taken his same stance in support of the Blunt amendment.
The petition on the Warren campaign site suggested, "We ask that you respect the Kennedy family's wishes and stop invoking Senator Kennedy's name."
Warren also posted her radio ad opposing the Blunt amendment on her YouTube channel. The ad asks supporters to "stand with" her by visiting her website.
Brown's campaign does not appear to be as focused on the issue online as the Warren camp is as a means of generating donations and signups. The senator did, however, link to his February 17 Boston Herald op-ed about the topic on Facebook.
