Hillary Clinton wants to ditch the Electoral College. Bill Clinton thinks something ought to be done...

Bush were "I want to stay in the Senate" and not join the president elect's cabinet as energy secretary. But Breaux did use the lunch to make a plug for his Louisiana buddy, former Democratic Sen. Bennett Johnston, who chaired the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee before he retired in 1996. "I can't think of anybody better," Breaux told Bush. Johnston shares Bush's views on energy policy. "If you want to have...
