reply #6....good question. I took this poll earlier. I don't understand the point of the two colors???? May need a little coffee this afternoon!

It was in a story at the CNS news site. It is one of the options he is considering, with one of the others being running for president. (Now that's a horrible thought!) He said retirement was the least likely of his 3 options, but I keep hoping we can convince him it is the best! :)

From the MSNBC page:

The percentages in blue represent the results of the national poll, not including your response.

Seems to imply a different poll.

Is Daschle's wife with the FAA?

About ten years ago she was the deputy administrator of the FAA. I ran into her at an FAA forecast conference in San Antonio. In her speech she kept refering to (FAR Part) 139 charter operations. Part 139 of the Federal Aviatrion Regulations refers to airports with scheduled air service, part 135 is charter operations. A minor point to be sure, but if you are the boss of the whole lash-up you ought to know the difference.

Back to the drawing board, DemocRATS!

The KEY that kicked off this latest 'RAT ATTACK was the 6-month window prior to this November's elections.

You can bet their little hairless tails they will be back OVER and OVER and OVER again before November trying to get something to "stick" to the Republicans!

Might be nice if Daschle retired today.

[Future Useless Eater]

The message came out loud and clear on this Sunday's news shows,
and matches the message from this poll...

The Dems and the media are ALL being instructed to drop this issue!
ITS a LOSE-LOSE situation for them.

Even the Rat's website www.dnc.org has had ALL their hype
about the 9/11 blame-game REMOVED!!!

(check out the new barf-alert points listed there now, if you
want to get ready to debate next weekend's loudmouth talking heads)
