crazy isn't it? Personally after reading a book about Abramoff i tend to believe Harry.

Harry Reid

John Ensign

1. this whole Abramoff *revelation* bothers me
WHY - if this was known before the elections - why wasn't it published back then? This sudden *news item* seems FAR too convenient.

Anyone else smell Rove? :sarcasm:

3. Reid wasn't up for reelection; it's still a smear job if untrue (I think Harry's clean of Abramoff)
eom

4. they would have used everything they had if true, Rove may be trying
to deflect his Abramoff problems onto Reid and anybody else he thinks they'll get traction on.

2. I love how Ensign has 12.8% undisclosed/partial disclosure funding to Reid's 2%
Maybe someone should be looking into a little deeper into Ensign's $447,998 mystery funding rather than Reid's $98,250. :shrug:
