Who were the 11 Pubs who trotted to the WH to confront the Shrub?
I tried to find this info on google, but all I can find is the number 11. CNN just sayd 11 moderate Pubs. I'm curious to see just who these 11 were.

1. Per Batiste on KO, 4 of them were VoteVet targets, so it's working!
And those rethugs are up for reelection in 08. Sorry, I don't know who.

2. 11 Repukes who want to win reelection in 08.
Apparently the rest couldn't care less, or they know their constituents are idiots.

3. I know that two of them were from Illinois:
Mark Kirk, his district is in the northern suburbs of Chicago and Ray LaHood, he represents the Peoria area I believe.

6. Davis' name a bit of a surprise
He's had his head so far up Bushit's ass that they share lunch. He must be getting pummeled at home.

8. If Boehner was in on it
well, I would say it is definitely for show. Some of my family lives in his district and they say it is useless to call his office. He is bush all the way.
