9. Really, what can they do when their own corrupt election machinery isn't
enough to over-ride their growing ethics perception problem?

3. The News Hour on PBS had a good segment with Shields and
Brooks. The Republicans in Congress are very worried. They wont say it publicly but they are :scared:

5. Delay has been emasculated, they are leaderless.
The vultures will be flying by his office to see what they can scavenge. It will be ugly because they have no leader now.

6. They don't deserve to be reelected.
They don't do jack shit and they're bad when they do do something.

4. Why do Republicans always slip in the polls AFTER elections?
Yet they always seem to bounce back to life in September and October of election years.

I think Spitzer will win.

Hillary will win in a landslide.

But I think the best the Democrats can hope for in Congress is +2 in the Senate and single digit gains in the House.

11. Are you running XP?
Me too! I had to install additional security software (I use GhostSurf) to block popups completely.

13. Corruption

Corrupt power should be swept away.

The very real threat they face could have been avoided had they chosen to serve with honor.

They have only themselves to blame.
We all must live with our choices.
