No. He won re-election on his own. After than, they and they alone kept him in office. Anyone care to recall CNN burying Candy Crowley's Jaunita Brodderick story? My point is, you count on that bias, like a point spread and know that you start several points...

I wouldn't want someone with her lack of judgment and childish retaliatory behavior...

Suzzy throwing her support to the Dem is no surprise. She was smoked out and went home. What's wrong with that? Many of us have discussed the possibility of a third party rising. That is not what is going to happen. If anyone can find a copy of "Insurgents" by Loyd Omdahl, it will explain the process that is happening right now. We have a large "decline to affiliate" faction growing in the center of...

McCain lost because he was a Liberal Republican who attempted to run as a Conservative. __________________ There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns.
