Taylor would have made things a lot easier if he just reitred. In fact, our House prospects would be better if a few Congresscritters retired.

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly with both of you. I would poll better against Shuler than Taylor is doing. As I said in the last line of my speech to the 11th District Republican Convention a month ago, "I will beat Heath Shuler like a rented mule."

I may still get the chance to do that, perhaps in 2006, more likely in 2008.
