All of these Enron hit pieces in the media lately are part of the National Democrat Party Plan to re-elect Gray Davis.
Farfetched? Read this post. Somebody besides several of us FReepers thinks the same.
I think you are right, but I find it hard to figure out why all of the democratic politicians in Washington State and Oregon, have lined up behind helping re-elect Davis. I can understand Cantwell, who has huge debt and is being helped paying it off by Hillary Clinton is for sale to the Democratic party. By why Wynden of Oregon and Inslee of Washington are so vocal on this issue is beyond me. Inslee should care less about electing Davis, unless he knows that his party is likely to loose control of the US Senate and loose more seats in the House unless something is done to neutralize Bush popularity.
The cynic in me, feels that Bush is headed to start military action against either Iraq or Iran within the next 3 months. If that happens, and the Democrats probably understand the timetable as well as anyone else, then the November elections will take place at a time "of war." The Dem's may feel that now is the only window of opportunity they have to try to attack Bush on any issue without a backlash against them as unpatriotic. I think that the Dem's are absolutely terrified about loosing all power at the federal level.
