FILE - In this May 4, 2010 file photo, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. speaks to reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington. With the scrawl of a pen, Arizona Republican Gov. Jan Brewer awakened a dormant _ but politically explosive _ issue of illegal immigration, sending shock waves across the political spectrum in an election year when both parties had hoped to sidestep the topic. Two months after Brewer signed a new Arizona law instructing police to demand proof of a questionable person's legal status, voters have refocused on a topic that had faded into the background after Congress failed to overhaul the thorny immigration system in 2007.

FILE In this March 31, 2009, file photo, Rob Simmons talks to the Associated Press during an interview in Washington. Republicans once saddled with the burden of President George W. Bush's unpopularity are now experiencing a boon from another struggling president: Barack Obama. The GOP senses rising fortunes from coast to coast, as one-time lawmakers look to capitalize on voter frustration that booted some of them from office in 2006. Others, long retired, see the Democrats' luster fading and with it a chance for them to return to Washington. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh) (Susan Walsh)

An ash plume rises from a volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier May 17, 2010. Volcanic ash from Iceland grounded 1,000 flights and delayed hundreds of thousands of passengers in parts of northern Europe on Monday, although forecasters said the situation would improve during the week. Several of Europe's busiest airports, including London's Heathrow and Schiphol in Amsterdam, were closed for several hours due to fears the ash could damage jet engines and bring down aircraft.
