<p>Here are some things to watch for in Tuesday&#039;s races:</p>
<p><strong>Ugliness in Delaware:</strong> The Tea Party Express poured money into  the insurgent campaign of Christine O&#039;Donnell. She is challenging  longtime congressman and former Gov. Mike Castle, who is backed by the  party establishment, in Delaware&#039;s Republican Senate primary. In some of  the most vicious campaigning seen so far this year, Castle supporters  have attacked O&#039;Donnell, accusing her of defaulting on personal bills  and not paying income taxes - which she denies - and calling her  &#034;delusional.&#034;</p>
<p>Establishment Republicans think they have a shot  at picking up Vice President Biden&#039;s old Senate seat if Castle, a former  governor, is their candidate, but don&#039;t stand a chance if O&#039;Donnell  wins the primary. But O&#039;Donnell, who&#039;s been endorsed by former Alaska  Gov. Sarah Palin, says the attacks have backfired and only intensified  support around her.</p>
<p>The state GOP chairman said he had received  death threats because of his support of Castle and had moved his family  out of their home. O&#039;Donnell condemned the threats.</p>

Former NASA Administrator Sean O&#039;Keefe was also on board, surviving with three others.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/08/10/tuesday.primaries/index.html?npt=NP1" target="_blank">Regarding the primaries</a>, a lot of the coverage focused on Connecticut and the race to replace retiring Senator Chris Dodd. <strong>Former World Wrestling Entertainment executive Linda McMahon</strong> won Connecticut&#039;s GOP Senate primary, setting up a general election battle against the state&#039;s attorney general.</p>
<p>A few political stories did get a little less news coverage, though, including these:</p>
<p><strong>** Levi Johnston</strong>, the father of former AK Governor Sarah Palin&#039;s grandchild, <strong><a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/08/10/johnston-running-for-palins-ex-job-in-reality-show/" target="_blank">is running for her old post of Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska</a></strong>.  Not as a call to civic duty, rather as a reality show called &#034;<strong>Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor&#039;s Office</strong>.&#034;</p>
<p><strong>** Vice President Joe Biden&#039;s Air Force 2 plane</strong> was involved in a<a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/08/11/2010-08-11_vice_president_joe_bidens_air_force_2_in_minor_accident_with_small_plane_on_long.html?print=1&amp;page=all" target="_blank"> minor accident</a> when the plane&#039;s engines caused a small private plane to topple over. (NYDailyNews)</p>
<p><strong>**</strong> If a Supreme Court Justice trips and is not hurt, is that news?  <a href="http://www.wpri.com/dpp/news/local_news/providence/providence-us-supreme-court-justice-antonin-scalia-falls" target="_blank">Apparently so</a>… (WPRI-TV)</p>
<p><strong>**</strong>The reigning Super Bowl Champs, the New Orleans Saints, celebrated their championship (6 months later) at <strong>the White House</strong>.  The White House press corps was <strong><a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/08/09/super-bowl-saints-visit-white-house-cook-up-gulf-shrimp/" target="_blank">treated to some BBQ shrimp</a></strong> compliments of one of the players.</p>

<p>While we&#039;re still waiting on the jury to decide the fate of <a href="http://insession.blogs.cnn.com/2010/07/29/verdict-watch-in-blagojevich-trial/" target="_blank">former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich in his corruption trial</a>, as well as what will come of the ethics <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/07/29/rangel.ethics/index.html" target="_blank">charges against NY Representative Charlie Rangel</a>, the political chatter this week has been about one thing...</p>
<p><strong>The upcoming wedding of Chelsea Clinton</strong>.</p>
<p>So many questions are out there: Who will design her dress (<a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/reliable-source/2010/07/rs-_chelsea_update.html" target="_blank">Vera Wang?</a>), where will it be (<a href="http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/lifematters/rumours-abound-for-chelsea-clintons-wedding-20100730-10ybd.html?autostart=1" target="_blank">Rhinebeck, NY?</a>), who will be there (<a href="http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/lifematters/rumours-abound-for-chelsea-clintons-wedding-20100730-10ybd.html?autostart=1" target="_blank">Oprah?</a>), and will she change her last name (<strong><a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-07-27/chelsea-clinton-wedding-will-she-keep-her-name/?cid=hp:mainpromo8" target="_blank">Chelsea Mezvinsky</a></strong>)?</p>
<p>We&#039;ll know much more after Saturday&#039;s ceremony, and in the meantime, check out some of these other stories <strong>you might have missed</strong> this week:</p>
<p>*<strong>Erin Andrews</strong>, of ESPN and <a href="http://abc.go.com/shows/dancing-with-the-stars" target="_blank">DWTS</a> fame, <a href="http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/07/27/espns-erin-andrews-speaks-in-support-of-tougher-stalking-law/" target="_blank">was on Capitol Hill this week</a> pushing for tougher laws against stalking. You probably knew this from watching <a href="http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1007/27/lkl.01.html" target="_blank">LKL on Tuesday night</a>.</p>
<p>*President Obama knows every detail about the U.S. nuclear arsenal, and whether or not<strong> Area 51 does indeed house aliens</strong>… but during his visit on “The View,” he admitted he doesn’t know<a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2010/07/28/2010-07-28_present__the_view_obamas_the_charmer_but_he_has_no_idea_who_snooki_is.html" target="_blank"> who “Snooki” is</a>... (NYDaily News)</p>
<p>*Will former Florida Governor Jeb Bush follow his brother&#039;s and dad&#039;s footsteps and <strong>run for President</strong> in 2012? He answered it <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/111071-jeb-bush-im-not-running-in-2012" target="_blank">HERE</a> (The Hill)</p>
<p>*What does <strong>comedian/actor Bill Murray</strong> watch on television?  While it should be CNN, <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlDC/magazines/bill_murray_cspan_a_match_made_in_heaven__168903.asp" target="_blank">his answer may surprise you</a>. (Mediabistro)</p>

<p><strong><em><span style="font-style:normal;"><span style="font-weight:normal;">TV personality Judge Greg Mathis is launching a Prisoner Initiative entitled PEER standing for Prisoner Empowerment Education and Respect. Through the initiative Judge Mathis will visit jails and prisons throughout the country to encourage inmates to change their lives.  Motivated by his own experience as a troubled youth who overcame the challenges of being incarcerated, Judge Mathis will share his personal experiences and offer advice and encouragement to inmates. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-style:normal;"><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br />
To date, the Judge has made PEER appearances at the Wayne County Jail in Detroit, where he was previously sentenced to serve nearly one year, the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, GA, the State Correctional Institution at Chester, PA and most recently spoke with the youth population at Rikers Island, NY. The Judge, who is scheduled to return back to NY to speak with the adult male population at Rikers as well as visit Sing Sing, will visit Cook County Boot Camp in Chicago, IL on March 26th.</span></span></em></strong></p>

<p><strong>(CNN)</strong> - A BP estimate made after  the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon noted that as much as 100,000  barrels per day could leak into the ocean if the blowout preventer and  wellhead were removed, a higher worst-case scenario than previously  reported.</p>
<p>According to an internal BP document released Sunday  by Rep. Edward Markey, D-Massachusetts, BP believed that the worst-case  scenario could be as high as 100,000 barrels, or 4.2 million gallons of  oil per day.</p>
<p>The figure is the highest yet to surface regarding  the leaking oil well. At the disaster&#039;s outset, BP claimed the leak was  about 1,000 barrels a day, a number it later revised to 5,000 and then  much higher. BP told the House Energy and Commerce Committee that the  worst-case scenario was 60,000 barrels (2.5 million gallons) a day,  lower than what the document states.</p>
<p>The document, submitted in  May, maintains the 60,000 barrel estimate, but stipulates that if the  &#034;blowout preventer and wellhead are removed and if we have incorrectly  modeled the restrictions, the rate could be as high as 100,000 barrels a  day.&#034;</p>
<p>Markey said the document &#034;raises very troubling questions  about what BP knew and when they knew it.&#034;</p>

<p><strong>Washington (CNN)</strong> - A Utah death row inmate who would become  only the third person to die by firing squad in the United States in 33  years appealed to the Supreme Court on Wednesday, seeking a last-minute  stay of execution.</p>
<p>Ronnie Lee Gardner&#039;s lawyers filed the first  of what are expected to be several appeals to the justices. He is  scheduled to be put to death early Friday for the shooting death of  attorney Michael Burdell during a botched escape attempt from custody in  1985 at a Salt Lake City, Utah, courthouse.</p>
<p>Among the claims the  49-year-old prisoner raises in his appeals is that he has been a death  row inmate too long.</p>
<p>&#034;He asserts that executing him now, after  nearly 25 years on death row in Utah, so lacks retributive or deterrent  value that it violates the Eighth Amendment,&#034; Andrew Parnes, Gardner&#039;s  lawyer, told the high court. He did not return phone calls from CNN  seeking comment.</p>
