The GOP in every single state can use the AIG fiasco to pound dems with a shillelagh. AND THAT’S JUST ONE ISSUE! The swiftboaters can use the veterans tax issue in their ads, the GOP can use Pelosi’s comments about illegals in more ads. The GOP can use Dodd’s own comments against him in his home state. And the GOP can use the Blago scandal in Illinois to win back that state. The GOP can use the Spiyzer scandal in NY. The dems just keep on providing us conservatives with more ammunition including gun control which can be used against them in every state! To quote Ann Coulter if democrats had brains theyd be republicans!
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
