• Rebuffed Republican: Longtime Cincinnati congressman and art-killer Steve Chabot was turned away from the polls for not having proper ID. "I guess I'll see if I can find a utility bill," Chabot said. "That's the law. You have to have proper ID."

• No hard feelings: PowerLine, the conservative blog frequently credited with taking down CBS News anchor Dan Rather over false Bush Air National Guard documents, is now running ads for ... CBS News. Don't call it a sell out; call it victory.
