Flipitty flop, flippity flop.
Somebody throw that drowning idiot a life ring!

Politics is a rough biz. My wife was a senior staffer for Sen. Chuck Percy for 3 years. Percy got beat by Paul "bowtie" Simon.

Despite wearing expensive suits and pricey makeup, politicians are above anything, self-preservationists.

And, DTS, don't fault Repubs for running away from GWB too harshly. After all, it very well could be Pres Gore if he didn't run away from Clinton. It's just what politicians do.

On the Senate side, if it does go Dem, the first real interesting dynamic is Leiberman. You'll hear some Democrats call for Leiberman to retain his seniority. I can't imagine that's going to happen. Joe stays a Senator, but returns to Go as an indy. He went down the road alone in supporting the war and I think the Dems will make him pay.

I don't think so. He keeps his seniority and the Democrats now control all the committees in the Senate. Live with it. That is whay you get for supporting a neocon lunatic war.

Finally the Republicans woke up and got rid of the last powerful neocons, Dick Cheney and his little tool Donald Rumsfeld. The real Republicans, Bush 41 guys, have taken back control of the party. That is why the realist moderate republicans will win the White House in 2008 with a moderate like McCain.

McCain moderate? Please explain.
I might still be dealing with "lunatic liberal NY elitists"...got any other names?
Seems to me that there are plenty enough lunatics roaming around.
btw...most of the time I agree with you, just curious about your McCain statement. If he keeps calling for more troops in Iraq, is that the definition of a "lunatic", or just someone a bit out of touch?
Also, what do you think of his definition of "victory"?
