2. Cue Queen: Da-dum! Dum! Dum! Another one bites the dust!

[Chipper Chat]

4. I smell a House with 300+ democrats in '08.

Get ready to tap those kegs.

[kestrel91316]

12. If Bush keeps it up, think 350+. AND the WH for the next 30 years.

16. OMG kestrel

You have me salivating and I can't stop!

[mod mom]

3. Here's my best guess why on another post:

5. She only won by a little over 1600 votes in '06...

She knows that '08 is going to be a tough sell. This could very well be a Dem pickup.

8. How do we get Voinovich to head out of town with her? n/t

[peace13]

6. Best news I have heard all day!

You know what they say about not saying anything if ya can't say something nice. Well OK... I got nothing. Peace, Kim

My tin hat is shooting sparks.

9. Thank you for posting that!

I'm in her district and you just made my day! :woohoo:

[badgervan]

10. What's the Story....

.... on that evil Mean Jean crone in Ohio? Any chance of her being replaced?

11. Jim Petro may possibly run in her place

according to a Cleveland TV station report tonight. Sorry, no link for that.

13. Awesome news!

Now maybe I can have a representative that won't just send me White House talking points in response to my letters.

I stopped writing because I came to the conclusion that Pryce was so deep in the enemy camp that no amount of attempts to communicate would be worth anything.

[Maeve]

14. I could have written the same post!

Didn't matter what I wrote, only talking points came back and praise of Dubya.

15. No fun wrecking the country from the minority, Deborah?

And you might actually have to campaign in 2008 without a great big assist from a corrupt Secretary of State? Well, at least when you spend more time with your family, you'll have the Democrats in power, trying to make life easier for your family instead of making things easier for the megacorporations trying to ruin your life.

Eight terms in Congress, and what does she have to show for it? Besides the fat pension provided by the taxpayers, I mean.
