hardly matters at this point... you continuously advocate hardball from our side, and then assert that we should cave in to their lies about the Chambliss-Cleland race?

The Hell with them. Send any spokesperson we damn well please. Do you think we'll get "credits" from the media for sending a RINO?

No, I advocate hardball and competence, not abject stupidity. Chambliss isn't the guy. When I think how great Gingrich would have been on that Commission, I nearly weep. But I understand that the Left would have whacked the Hell out of him. You got to be tough and smart and self protective.

Armitage said today, "We could have moved faster on terrorism." Three seconds later it was on the permanent crawl. Armitage is being honest saying hindsight tells us that we had to move faster. A candid, self critical and ultimately admirable way to conduct oneself, but that isn't what these hearings were about.

This was bloody partisan warfare with Presidential election implications. Giving the Left a useful sound byte shouldn't have been done, getting old RINOs to take the court for the GOP was a bad move. Ultimately, Team Bush doesn't understand the Left. This was huge and they fell down on it, I say this with no joy. I say this as someone who has been frustrated and sickened by these hearings. This was the impeachment hearings in the Senate all over again.
