As Republicans go back to the House floor for a fifth day to make speeches on energy, it is obvious that this protest has energized GOP lawmakers.

I have to say that I am surprised how little political debate there was in the run up to the Summer Olympics about whether President Bush should go to Beijing for the opening ceremonies.

Even as Republicans continue their energy vigil on the floor of the U.S. House today, a new AP-Ipsos poll out on Wednesday shows just how difficult their election battle is right now.

House Republicans have been talking a good game of late about how they are for more than just "drill, drill, drill" as Democrats claim.  What does their energy bill show?

Republicans in the House will be holding forth on the House floor again today, out of the sight of television cameras and out of range of us radio reporters, as they entertain tourists in the galleries and call for action on major energy legislation.

I guess it shouldn't really be any surprise that worries over high energy costs, especially the cost of gasoline, has become the hot issue in the Presidential campaign.

While their colleagues were off enjoying the start of a five-week summer break, a group of Republican die hards in the US House were back on the floor of that chamber, speaking to any tourist that would listen.

We all know how difficult it is to unseat a member of Congress, especially during a primary.  But it has already happened twice this year, and some wonder if it will occur again tonight.

House Republicans are back on the floor of the US House today, demanding action on energy issues, as Congress takes a five week summer break.
