Hold your collective noses, here's the latest take on the Rats' future:

McPain and Chafee switch parties in January, giving the dems their majority back in the Senate. Then the dems run McPain for president, neutralizing GWB's strenghth on national security and appealing to the independents pubbies need to win. (Evidence is the two major Dem advisors McPain has added to his staff in recent days)

Makes me physically ill to think about it. But I think there are two problems with this scenario. One, I'm not sure the country would stand for a second "coup" in the Senate. And I'm not sure Zell Miller would stay with the dems, especially given the Pelosi wing in the House.

But it sure gives us something to gnash our teeth over!

I don't know that McCain can maintain the appearance of sanity (or at least mental stability) for another two years.

Check this out:

One man has used his dry wit to promote Viagra in national TV commercials. The other has never seemed to have any problems with his libido.

Former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-Kan.) and ex-President Bill Clinton, however opposed to each other they once were as presidential rivals in 1996, now find themselves bound together by a single common thread: Their wives are U.S. senators, and they are members of the exclusive club of Senate spouses. full story.

My mom called me today and told me about that article in National Review by Stanley Kurtz. I think Kurtz is off his rocker. McCain spent a lot of time campaigning for the Republicans in 2002, he is pro-life, pro-defense. I think his primary attraction to the media is his willingness to poke at the Republicans. (It did make me ill to think about, too.)
