I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Wow!
So how long after that did it take them to censure Pelosi?
Burn him!!
Republican's Delay a vote on the resolution.
So much for bi-partisanship eh?
When Pelosi was first named Minority Leader, I thought she would be too much of a pushover. I'm impressed with how she's handled herself under Delay's boot.
Is there a link to the full resolution? Can someone grab a C-Span clip of the best parts?
So, even if it's set aside, it's still a matter of record, right?
Clever woman, that Pelosi. She'll make a great majority leader.
House Democrats need to learn how to throw elbows like this more often.
So, even if it's set aside, it's still a matter of record, right?
Yup.
This has been a great week.
Now we need three-and-a-half more of 'em. Never give up, never surrender.
GOTV!
CNN's poll now has Bush leading, please get there and spread the word.

Thanks Marry! As THK, my lovely wife, said, "vote early, vote often"!
Any chance of an indictment coming down in the next few weeks?
How about findings in the Plame affair?
Hot Damn! Up next impeachment resolution for the chimperor.
There are a lotta folks with reasons to squish the Bugman, and some of them run the RNC.
I see that freedom is winning.
Gallup has broken down their results: among independents, Kerry won decisively, 53%-37%.
Can it get better?
Yes it can,but for now this is great news!
I finally got to hear her daughter Alexandra, on AAR yesterday. Also a pistol; great sense of humor and spunk, and dammit, I've never been able to catch any of her highly-lauded documentaries!
What a cool family. The right politics, the right values and balls for all.
Unlike SOME notable families I could mentionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn....
Hillary/Nancy in '08!
I think you mean "Hillary/Nancy in '12!"
Nancy rocks. I'm from N. California, so I knew of her strength before some of you did and expected this kind of thing. It's just soooooo sweet to see her brains and guts at work.
Nice, now that's the kind of hardball I want to see a lot more of.
I finally got to hear her daughter Alexandra, on AAR yesterday. Also a pistol; great sense of humor and spunk,
And great at making movies that made the Chimp look great.
My Repug friends all LOVED her movie from the 2000 campaign.
OT: (sorry, go pelosi)
check out this Kos diary with an excellent analysis of the Dred Scott reference used by whistleass last night.
A taste:
Because it's all there, plain as day. The Dred Scott reference is code language for abortion rights. Here's how one anti-choice site describes it:
Stephen Douglas didn't see Dred Scott as a person with rights because he was black; now Al Gore doesn't see these children as people with rights because they are unborn.
with reference links.
Alluding to the tax cut and anti-terrorism bills passed by the House, DeLay said in a statement: "By contrast, the only bill brought to the floor by Democrats this week was a political smear."
That's because the Repugs control the schedule!
He must think his constituents are idiots.
This is how you do it.
Marginally related (and found on Kos): video of Rep. Tim Ryan blasting the current administration.
hah! fuck you gribble!
Fuck Tom DeLay.
That Dred Scott link above was a trip.
Ya'think it'll be like a trifecta linking slavery, black church opposition to gay rights, and anti-abortion. gimme fundamentalist koooool-aid, Karl.
I get the impression that everyone is becoming a rudepundit.

Dat womans got some brass ovaries!
I think after these last two debates, people are going to stop thinking about thjis left-right stuff and begin to worry that there are a bunch of lunatics running this country...
Have A Nice, Hot Cup O' Joe!
Does anyone know much about Tim Ryan? A bit of Googling showed that he used to be an assistant to, un, er, Jim Trafficant. As much as I liked Ryan's speech the other day, the rhetoric and gestures were a bit Trafficantesque, which is troubling. I remember I used to like some of JT's fiery invective too until I learned he had a few screws loose, some thuggish ethics and that his angry prole act didn't translate into many benefits for his district. I'm hoping Ryan has the political skills to match his style; does anyone know?
THEY CALL ME AND THEY TRY TO SELL ME DISCOUNT AUTO INSURANCE
Soon to be Speaker Pelosi is the daughter of Tommy D’Alesandro, a long-time Maryland political force of great repute. She was raised on the hard elbows and crushed insteps that is politics in Maryland. From one Bay to another, but the crabs are better on the East coast...
Speaker Pelosi! has been one of my rallying calls for months now. If not this cycle, in '06, this I swear.
And anyone else catch some of Sen. Landreiu's speeches on the floor of the Senate the last two days about how unfair the tax bill is to military families? She's been on fire. In a polite, steel magnolia manner of course, but very very impressive.
Saw abot 15 minutes of a rebroadcast on the Tennenbaum-DeMint debate, and wow, she may be a conversative Democrat, but what a smart woman who was effective and personable in her remarks.
The Democrats are creating a deep bench, and more and more of them are women.
What, she mentions some resolution and is immediately shot down? What good is that?
Is bush a moron?
HELL YES!!!
Off-Topic
Do the Dems realize that the Rep. Tim Ryan video linked above (about ten posts up) would be an absolute kick-ass 90-second ad.
Incognito said: "What, she mentions some resolution and is immediately shot down? What good is that?"
She didn't just shut up, roll over and play dead.
Incog-she's actually doing her job. Daschle would've tried to get invited to DeLay's tea party. The shot down part we can work on.
The scum "Christian" fundies have no problem with Delay's huge ongoing corruption as long as he bashes gays. How sick is that?
Pelosi's been a great bulldog and keeps getting better.
Ripping out political Achilles tendons is a great spectator sport...couldn't happen to a nicer guy than Tom DeLay. She's gonna have his scalp and Hastert's soon, just you wait.
i'm from baltimore and i had no idea pelosi was d'alesandro's daughter. he was before my time, but i have heard the name a lot. he is still a bit of a legend.
This Tom DeLay crap is exactly what is wrong with this administration. It is like a cancer on America. Only instead of cancer, it is a "Bush" on America. During the Johnson Administration, the Democrats stopped Johnson from running for re-election, and during the Nixon Administration, the Republicans stopped Nixon from running. There is no credibility in Washington with this Group. It is all about "Power" at any cost. If all the Republcans believe that Bush deserves to be re-elected, then all of them are unfit for office, and should be replaced.
I had my doubts about her, but damn, has Pelosi turned out to be one heck of a leader. She's a pitbull and a vast improvement over Gephardt. She knows the game. The Dems scored big in the 90s by demonizing Gingrich and highlighting what a thug he was, aided by Gingrich's own public blunders. (DeLay learned from this, which is why he lurks in the shadows and tries to stay out of the public eye.) It's time the Dems did the same to DeLay and I'm glad to see them do it. He represents the worst elements of the GOP and would be a disaster if he became the face of the party.
I get your point, but the repugs stopped Nixon from running? I wish. 1972 was a joke. Some of the assholes now in the white house were in congress then and supported him to the end.
during the Nixon Administration, the Republicans stopped Nixon from running.
??? They did?
re: nixon
they (republican party) did convince him to resign.
Nancy's tough and smart, but doesn't get enough media attention. But of course no Democrat does.
Pelosi has three things going for her, she has strong political beliefs, her stong leadership/character traits and she is from a safe district. I propose that even if Dashel retain his seat in the election that the Dems should choose a new Senate leader with the same three traits. I'm thinking Durbin or Hawkins. Any other nominations out there? How does everyone feel about dumping Dashel?
Repugs got him to resign, but the earlier post said
, the Republicans stopped Nixon from running
If that meant, "stop running in 1973" it sounds as if they offed him.
Melanie,
I read your link and thought, WOW, bush is such a wingnut as it is, but these folks are more wingnutty and radical than him. Perish the thought.
Enough is enough.
that is good, but i would rather see
this resolution for impeachment
well, not rather but also.
Indeed, more than 130 prominent attorneys -- including 12 former federal judges and eight former presidents of the American Bar Association -- sent the president a letter last month denouncing his decision and alleging that the memos show that the administration sought "to circumvent long established and universally acknowledged principles of law and common decency." It went on to say that the White House and Justice Department "ignored and misinterpreted the U.S. Constitution and laws, international treaties and rules of international law."
More like this please, heapin' helpin's if possible...
I'm proud as can be of Pelosi. She probably senses a begining of the end of DeLie. This is fairly similar to Newdts slide into disgrace: radical agenda, leaning to hard on House members, sleazy practices and lack of ethics.
I'm having a fantasy daydream....
Oh, if the Democrats ever take power back...oh, man, can you imagine? They'll nail every GOP crook in the place...it would be sweeet.
Haloscan had better quit misspelling my posts.
Oh, if the Democrats ever take power back...oh, man, can you imagine? They'll nail every GOP crook in the place...it would be sweeet.
Saw this last night, just after it happened.
Bugman has to go. Or republicans are the biggest hypocrites in the country.
Ethics violations.
To the wingers, he's breaking the Congressional commandments.
He represents the worst elements of the GOP and would be a disaster if he became the face of the party.
gfyfe
He's corporately corrupt and a fundie. He IS! the face of their party.
Olaf - yep, I may be dating myself by even knowing this, but Tommy D’Alesandro and his machine ran a lot of Maryland for decades. I'm sure there's bound to be a good book or two written by somebody from the Sun or UMD all about those times. You're from Balmer? What's you're favorite David Simon show? It's so cruel to show McNulty eating crabs and swigging down the Natty Bo to people who live thousands of miles from a dozen decent jimmies.
Pelosi is acting like a House leader should, and I admire her nerve as much as her intellegence. While I will have to reduce my contributions after this cycle, I'll be giving money to Pelosi and her long-term plan to take back the House.
Landrieu now beginnning to read messages sent to her by email from people thanking her for standing up for our military forces as tax support and support for their businesses when called up have been excluded from the tax bill on the floor, being weighed down with amendments for special interests, corporations, but none for military families seeing their family member going off to war for some undetermined amount of time and danger.
Keep it up, more like this, Rep. Pelosi, Sen. Landrieu!
I guess our male democratic leaders are hiding behind their skirts. Wondered what happened to them.
On the matter of the draft: Bushco doesn't need to bring back the draft. Ending Pell grants and subsidized student loans would be a backdoor way to create a large pool of unemployed young people who, for lack of any alternatives, will volunteer military.
But I just can't get over how whacked Bush was last night....
Delay is a perfect example of the new, 21st century Repuplicans, good help them, and us, of course. He should scare the jeebus out of any sane, rational person, I hope they come out in droves to refute the radical repug agenda, again. Do we as a country need a Nixon, or a Bush, occasionally, to straighten our moral compasses?
Ending Pell grants and subsidized student loans would be a backdoor way to create a large pool of unemployed young people who, for lack of any alternatives, will volunteer military.
Then Charlie Rangel should resubmit his bill. Someone tried to tell me last night that the Dems wanted the draft. I told her that she didn't know what Rangel was trying to do when he called for it. War is hell, and the poor, generally, are the new recruits.
People want war? Then their kids should join in the fun. She didn't like that.
Ahem, that's "God", not "good", that is all.
Another good one.
I was quite pleased last spring when Pelosi pointed out how demeaning it was to Bush that he couldn't appear before the 9-11 commission by himself like a grown-up, without Cheney holding his hand.
This is just the kind of "shrillness" we need.
"[DeLay] must think his constituents are idiots."
His constituents are idiots or he wouldn't be in office. There is no fucking way that the average voter understands (or cares about) the process of bringing bills to the floor.
Also, to whoever asked about Tim Ryan's speech, blogpac is raising money to turn it into an ad as we speak. Donate at kos.
"Oh, if the Democrats ever take power back...oh, man, can you imagine? They'll nail every GOP crook in the place...it would be sweeet."
One can only hope. But the folks behind the Republican party still have their hands on too many of the levers of power. So I'm going to bring up something I've brought up before (and I don't think I'm the only one):
The Fairness Doctrine
It needs to be reinstated. If we do manage to take back the White House and the Senate -- I think the House is just too much of a rigged game to hope for -- we need to start pushing our elected officials big time to bring it back. (It was also known as the Equal Time Rule.)
Saint Ronnie eliminated it. Because of that, Limbaugh, Fox News, Michael Savage and their ilk are free to spew whatever distortions and lies serve their puppet masters, and woe to anyone who attempts to present an opposing viewpoint. Or even a different viewpoint.
The airwaves need to be returned to the status of a public trust, rather than a marketable commodity.
Funny how the conservatives were all "Market forces! Market forces!" until market forces produced Howard Stern and the Janet Jackson episode...
May I ask (in complete ignorance) who Tim Ryan is and what was remarkable about his speech?
"I think you mean "Hillary/Nancy in '12!"
Umm .. well lets not get ahead of ourselves but I was thinking Obama/Pelosi in '12
Pimp, I think you're on the right track suggesting we get someone to replace Daschle as Dem. Sen. leader.
Pat Leahy would be GREAT. His seat is safe as milk, he's experienced and respected on both sides of the aisle, has intel and judiciary committee exp., he's a just-left-of-centrist non-DLC guy ... and he really pisses off Cheney.
hey, i'm from baltimore, eating a crabcake right now, in orlando. not the same thing.
Pat Leahy would be GREAT. His seat is safe as milk, he's experienced and respected on both sides of the aisle, has intel and judiciary committee exp., he's a just-left-of-centrist non-DLC guy ... and he really pisses off Cheney.
The Confidence Man
Leahy would be a sane choice, but I would push Hillary into that slot to twist the knife into the majority's carcass every day - and get her aligned with the centrist dems as a move to bring her to the center - it would freak out guys like trent lott and orrin hatch to be taking point of order from a woman
The airwaves need to be returned to the status of a public trust, rather than a marketable commodity.
Roddy McCorley
Excellent point, Roddy. There to serve us, rather than the other way around. Hope you're wrong about the house, this atheist is praying for long coattails.
Leahy would be a sane choice, but I would push Hillary into that slot to twist the knife into the majority's carcass every day
I like Leahy a lot. And he would drive all the Cheney lovers mad.

BTW there is a Democrat running against DeLay for Texas-22. Send Richard Morrison some turkee.
http://www.richardmorrisonfordis...district22.com/
It would be great to pull a "giant killer" move on DeLay similar to what George Nethercutt did to Tom Foley in 1994.
As for crab in the SF Bay Area don't diss the wonderful West Coast crabs such as Dungeness. They are way better than any Gulf or East coast crabs I've ever had. (sorry Maryland)
I agree that Daschle needs to be replaced as leader (though he won't be if the Dems regain control). I'm not a critic of the guy, but we need to have a leader who's not looking over his back all the time because he represents a GOP state. We need someone from a safe seat for the job. My choices.
Chris Dodd: Lost to Daschle in race for the post in 1995, as safe as it gets and a very good leader.
Harry Reid: An ace at the whip position (he seems to live on the Senate floor), though he doesn't have the safest seat either (he's cakewalking to reelection this year, but he won by only a few hundred votes against now Sen. John Ensign in 199
.
Dick Durbin: Rising star, proud liberal, good speaker. Only fault is he'll be overshadowed by Obama (who'd make a great leader in the future once he gets some years of experience in the Senate).
John Corzine: Has done a bangup job running the Senate races this year and seems to have the skills for a leadership post. Only problem is he may be moving to the NJ governor's post before long.
Capital gang on CNN is getting ready to talk about allwing foreign born people should be allowed to run for Pres. I don't think the amend that prohits this will be repealed but if it is we have a great candidate.
Jennifer Granholm
Tim Ryan is Rep. from Ohio (17th district). Believe he was youngest Democratic member of this Congress. Anyway, the speech was in response to draft rumors. He repeats--forcefully--all the lies that have been told by this administration and ends with (paraphrase) "So please forgive us for not believing what you're saying...Not one thing that was told to the American people about this war was true." What sets it apart from the usual crap is the passion and integrity of the speaker. Check it out: [quicktime] http://www.mydd.com/files/admin/

Daschle sucked out loud as Senate leader. Like the gentleman he is, he tried to play nice with the GOP leaders and they screwed him and the whole country in return. When will we ever learn?
Daschle is a pussy. Hillary has more balls than he does.
Way to go Rep Pelosi--taking a play from Lisa Simpson's congressional playbook.
"You work fast."
"I work for Uncle Sam."
As for crab in the SF Bay Area don't diss the wonderful West Coast crabs such as Dungeness
there you go again, liberal elitist crab.
TJ,
Thanks I'll play it now.
this is OT: but is bush supposed to be using his weekly public address to "deride his opponent" and basically make a campaign speech?
TJ,
The link didn't work, but I enjoyed reading Kos and Mydd anyway.
I propose that . . . the Dems should choose a new Senate leader . . . I'm thinking Durbin or Hawkins. Any other nominations out there? How does everyone feel about dumping Dashel?
Pimp
Tom Harkin.
He knows how to take the fight to the neo-cons and blister some as* in the process.
That's future Speaker Pelosi.
She rocks.
Anonymous,
I think the (western) SF Bay crabs are the best. Along with the abalone. So there!
Please, please, please get DeLay and nail his balls to a tree. Austin's been liberal since my mother went to school here in the 1940's, but he ripped our district into shreds--we're now divided into three parts with the tattered, gerrymandered remains stretching from Houston to the Mexican border.
I'm so pissed that I can't vote for Lloyd Doggett this time that I, that I, . . .
(. . . falling to the floor in a heap of angry frustration at the lack of words vile enough to describe *^&%^%$$^^ DeLay. Asshole, and evil spawn of the devil just aren't strong enough.)
more law and order republicans. what will the ghost in the clouds think?
is bush supposed to be using his weekly public address to "deride his opponent" and basically make a campaign speech?
No, but that's never stopped him from every other thing that's brought disrespect to the office.
He's not supposed to con the networks into showing a 'major policy address on Iraq' that's just a Kerry-bashing stump speech, either.
&y is not k&y
Austin's been liberal since my mother went to school here in the 1940's, but he ripped our district into shreds--we're now divided into three parts with the tattered, gerrymandered remains stretching from Houston to the Mexican border.
Austin should secede from Texas. It would ensure that future Bush spawn would be out-of-staters.
Go Nancy!
Let's make sure the stink of Tom DeLay sticks to the R's like it's vulcanized to them.
Not to be a killjoy in all this, but just because someone does something cool once, doesn't mean overall they are fantastic. Pelosi has some pretty abhorrent views.
http://tomjoad.org/Pelosi.htm
Yeah, I know it's not the greatest website, but he's working on it.
I think the (western) SF Bay crabs are the best. Along with the abalone. So there!
Mellifluous
i have had both melli, and I agree -- there's something about SF Bay seafood --- it's only outdone by new england seafood like maine lobster and shellfish
Partyline vote on the resolution?
Not a single republican crossed the aise?
I wonder how many skeletons in the closet these people have if not a single one of them had the guts to stand out and be recognized?
Or more to the point, I wonder how many of them figure that since Tom is a christian, he couldn't possibly be immoral or unethical.
The charges therefore *must* be frivilous!!!!!

Gore Lawsuit Challenges Australian Election Results
(2004-10-09) -- Just hours after the polls closed across Australia, and Prime Minister John Howard headed for his fourth term, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore filed a lawsuit in international court at the Hague alleging "irregularities" in the balloting.
The election was seen by many as a referendum on Australia's participation in Operation Iraqi Freedom and the subsequent efforts to bring democracy to Iraq. Mr. Howard's opponent, Mark Latham, had promised to withdraw Australian troops from the Coalition.
"Somebody was disenfranchised or coerced down under," said Mr. Gore, now an itinerant professor. "John Howard betrayed his country. He played on their fears. There's no way they could have re-elected him legally. We'll fight this result all the way to the U.N. Security Council if need be."
Democrat presidential contender John Forbes Kerry expressed displeasure at the Australian election outcome.
"This is the wrong election result, in the wrong place at the wrong time," Mr. Kerry said. "Think of the precedent this sets."
A movie theater next to an Afghan restaurant in the Little Kabul area of Fremont, Calif., displays a sign thanking President Bush for the elections in Afghanistan.
YOU KNOW WHO YOU SHOULD BLAME?? THE MORONS WHO KEEP VOTING FOR DELAY!.
THey are more to blame than the lawmakers. I have no problem turning on corrupt democrats like that Torricelli scumbag. Why don't people hold their lawmakers to high standards? Idiotic voters.
I admire Nancy Pelosi. For a while, it was she, alone, who attacked the Republican spin machine. She rocks.
OT (from my kos diary tonight) ~ In addition to the fact that John Kerry is the right candidate at the right time, his consistent opinions on the Iraq war, jobs, and the economy offer insight into why Kerry wins the White House this year.
It's all about image, and Kerry's image is consistent. (Unfortunately, I don't have the TiVo or computer skills to back up my point, but there are enough people out there who will pick up on what I'm saying here.) When the media talks about consistency, the most basic issue of brand pops up if you compare the Kerry logo from his first campaign in the 1970's to the current campaign. It is virtually the same. A strong, block, stylish, sans serif lettering in white on a blue background. The logo composition changed a bit when John Edwards came on board.
In 2004, the logo used in Kerry's primary campaign has been virtually unchanged. Like I said, the font has been tweaked slightly, but the color is the same.
For those with extreme access, if you are watching the CNN Story, "Born To Run," about the life of John Kerry, the glimpse of his first campaign sign (addressing style and font) can be found between 25 and 35 minutes of the section (sorry, that is the best time frame I can provide at this point).
Check it out. John Kerry is consistently more consistent than George W. Bush.
Jay-sus. Just watched the Ryan video. Man...full of shrilly goodness. Works for me.
OT, but have to share this. I haven't gotten around to putting my bumper stickers on my car, but I have been wearing my Kerry/Edwards cap. Today when I was out I got 2 separate comments saying, "Nice hat!" along with very broad smiles.
Previous comments I've gotten have been more neutral, but always friendly. But after last night, I guess people feel free to be enthusiastic.
One of today's commenters told me that that his neighbors have had their Kerry yard signs stolen, so it seems that crap is going on here in the Detroit area, too.
My neighbor's Kerry sign got knocked over, torn somewhat on one side.
He's a NASCAR dad for Kerry.
Perhaps it was just the kids since they bike race along the sidewalks five at a time om occasion.
Fitting symbolism though. He threw away a drying machine that had its plug burnt black. Nearly caught fire or did.
SO in getting a new one he placed the old one to the curb.
Fittingly a guy drives by in an El Camino with a Bush/Cheney sticker on it. He takes the dryer, loads it up and leaves.
Proof Republicans will compromise security and safety for what they claim to be a bargain, even though all outside indications suggest risk.
Speaking of which, WTG Nancy! Kick DeLay to the curb.
OT
But CNN is running a thiny disguised hit piece right now

Durbin will be overshadowed by Obama, but that's okay. Can't you see steady ol' Dick working along as majority leader solidifying things in the Senate while Obama shoots for the stars, and they're still teammates and happy Dems together? I can certainly see it. (And I get to be one of their constituents! Damn! Can it get any better than this! [Well yes, actually -- all this happening in a Kerry administration (and a Cubs World Series championship, but that's not gonna happen in the next century or so, dammit, so give it up.)])
Notice the precisely placed parens, American style punctuation, and brackets, if you please. I'm a drunken copyeditor and I'm showing off.
Speaking of DeLay - this article about DeLay's eyelids (http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/
politics/9850474.htm) sent me into a fit of giggles. I'm sure it's a serious problem but I can't help it.
(wasn't sure we could use HTML in this comment so I opted not to try)
Nice try, townhall, but total BS.
Hillary would be a good majority leader. Chuck Shumer too.
If the House doesn't turn Dem, Barney Frank's gonna run for Kerry's seat, and polls show he'll be shoe in.
townhall:
ScrappleFace isn't very funny or coherent. My advice is, read the Onion, or watch the Daily Show. They do a much better job on fake news, and are better at making fun of Democrats.
Good satire requires brains and honesty, ya know? That's why there's so little good humorous writing on the Right these days.
Notice the precisely placed parens, American style punctuation, and brackets, if you please. I'm a drunken copyeditor and I'm showing off.
Very nice -- triple-nested parens. It kinda reminds me of Peter Schickele's biography of P.D.Q. Bach, which had a footnote with a footnote. (A toenote, perhaps?)

The GOP has always stood for integrity, character, and honorable conduct on the part of public servants.
And the moon is made of green cheese, the world is safer because Saddam is in jail, and your check is in the mail.
Jon Koppenhoefer bangs chickens.
Lose Daschle. And it better be a woman. Hillary would make the wingnuts crazy.
Daschle is in a bind. He's a nice guy.
For those who says he can't speak tough, they forget he's a veteran.
You do not go onto offensive until the numbers can justify it.
Too bad no matter who takes over the whole thing will crash. No revenues incoming, highest ever outgoing expense, and the economy teeters on the edge of a cliff.
Kerry has drummed support for some Repub names in debates, and Dashcle can play nice enough to maintain middle ground.
Of course we wanna run the trolls outta Congress, but voters will start that soon enough.
I'm thinking Durbin or Hawkins. Any other nominations out there? How does everyone feel about dumping Dashel?
definitely lose daschle. replace him with durbin, harkin, rockefeller or mikulski. but durbin would be best.
who's hawkins?
townhall, did you and anonymous pull that article out of your own asses, or out of each other's? or are you and anonymous merely alter egos of one high-school journalist?
found the source of that Gore/Australia story:
it's from one of the internets
I think Schumer or Corzine would be good majority leaders. Both are tough and from safe states.
Obama/Pelosi...ah, we can dream, can't we? That would be awesome.
