ARVADA - In a shocking new tack, Republican congressional candidate Rick O’Donnell said Tuesday that the Bush administration has bungled the war in Iraq and the United States should change course there.

“What we’re doing right now isn’t working. That’s a failure of leadership from our president, from our secretary of defense and from our generals, ” O’Donnell said during a debate with Democrat Ed Perlmutter. The two are vying to represent Colorado’s 7th Congressional District, one of the most closely watched races in the nation.

...The O’Donnell-Perlmutter race is considered one of the most competitive elections in the country and is a key to Democrats’ hopes of picking up 15 seats to gain a majority in the House.

Do you live in O'Donnell's district? His opponent sounds like a liberal Dem. The wrong kind of person for a conservative state to be sending to Congress.

I am indeed in the 7th. I certainly dislike Perlmutter's stances far more than O'Donnell's, but not voting, or voting for a crackpot third party, both look like attractive options for me right now.

Risking eternal damnation, they’ve banned or suspended Pope Neville I.

I wonder if John Wayne will be next?

I'll be praying for "them."
