Job market lag persists as recovery debates rage
Despite signs of growth, unemployment remains high and job gains slow. The long lag between recession end and labor market recovery extends past 20 months, with 44 000 jobs lost in July and 470 000 discouraged workers not counted in official figures. Economists disagree on risk to the expansion as firms shift jobs abroad.

Texas Democrats accuse Perry allies of pressuring senators
Democratic leaders claim Governor Perry would lock Hispanic and black legislators in the Senate to push a redistricting map seen as disenfranchising minorities. Perry aides call the accusation ludicrous while noting only the lieutenant governor can lock senators in. The dispute follows Democrats fleeing to Albuquerque to block a quorum during a stalled redistricting effort and the launch of a second 30 day special session.

Democrats Split Over Identity and Policy Paths
The Democratic presidential race features Dean pushing a liberal pro social program platform and Lieberman promoting a centrist, security-minded approach. Lieberman argues against big government while Dean warns Democrats risk losing by embracing Bush-era policies. Other candidates seek middle ground, balancing tax cuts and social programs amid post 9/11 politics.
