Oh I knew it I knew it! Somehow I just knew those wascally Wepublicans would be the first to turn partisan didn't you?
Stoolie Dashole tried so hard to be compassionate too!

That is a V ERY good observation. Its not the democrat and Dashole and the rest of the partisna jerks, its only Bush according to Dan Milbank - minion #235 of the DNC.

These organizations(the liberal media) of traitors have a lot to answer for. - agreed!

Good analysis, however, you failed to mention that the Democrat's money for Gore was reduced by 25% to elect Hillary. The allocation of National Party Funds to Elect Hillary made her Senate Seat the most expensive in history - the Democrats lost the Presidency simply by spending in the wrong place - their strategy is Rodem in '04 and one more.

Nice metaphor.

I hadn't seriously considered whether Bush could get 60 Senate seats. I had mostly figured they were just trying to get back a voting majority- hmmm, but that's thinking like the dems actually. The dems are the ones desperate to hold on to a voting majority in the Senate because it's the only platform they have- except the media, of course- and while the media is a powerful tool to have in one's arsenal it still can't vote on things.

But, yes, I suppose thinking to win big and long term it would make more sense for Bush to push for the big pie. It doesn't hurt if you're unsuccesful (you were campaigning anyway) and if you win you win all the marbles. If Bush succeeds in that endeavor, I suppose he would make a big push over the next two years to win California and New York. With either of those two, he would be unbeatable.

Great analysis! We have got to take back the Senate and if this latest round by the Dems/press hasn't emboldened people to that reality I don't know what will. Seems it may have reunited the bickering ranks of the GOP.

The Dems will stop at nothing. Let's stop then this November!

Republicans need only get the truth out there and not let these idiot liberal media hacks/Demonrats get away with their hit pieces.
