Does Durbin's apology rule him out as an '08 contender?

[wtmusic]

Don't know if I could support someone who can't stick to his guns any better than that. :eyes:

1. He will never run for president ...

... but now he can still run for senator.

It was Daley, not the 'pubs who made him do it.

[wtmusic]

6. Daley has that much clout with Durbin?

:shrug:

[Meeker Morgan]

9. Daley can withdraw Chicago machine support ...

... come re-election time.

And he is a known vindictive bastard.

2. Who Cares...

He isn't and hasn't expressed any interest in running and has said he is happy serving in the Senate. Personally, I'd love to see him as Majority Leader.

Let's deal with winning Democratic majorities in the House and Senate in 2006 first.

3. I know that I couldn't. You don't open your mouth until you know you're

right and then you never apologize because........you're right.

This country is detaining people for whatever until whenever under severe and humiliating conditions without charges. That's a gulag, a concentration camp, a dog run. Durbin is apologizing for speaking the obvious? Maybe he can run on the Lieberman ticket.
