* Sen. Byron Dorgan (D., N.D.) says the Senate will not do cap and trade in 2010, but instead focus on an energy bill that would push for more power generation from renewable resources and increase drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. From Reuters:

Dorgan said it would be difficult for the Senate to turn to controversial climate change legislation after it just had to deal with the health care bill.
“It is my assessment that we likely will not do climate change this year, but will do an energy bill instead,” Dorgan, who is in the Senate Democratic leadership, told reporters in a telephone conference call.

* Outgoing Ohio senator George Voinovich (R., Ohio) has a lunch at the Oval Office today, ostensibly to talk about the national debt. But some are wondering aloud if the Democrats will try to court Voinovich as their new 60th vote on health-care reform.

Sen Voinovich at WH today says “I am not a vote for the health care bill, period.”

* Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.) is pondering a Democratic run at the Arkansas House seat to be vacated by Vic Snyder.

“People are urging General Clark to run because of his national-security profile and robust netroots support. He’s not looking for a job right now, but he’s listening,” spokesman Erick Mullen said.
