That's why I'm suspicious. He scuttles around the halls of Congress like Iago, whispering "insider" stuff to dim-bulb senators and congressmen. I know that is what he did to get Jeffords to jump ship. He was the ONLY one who had the scoop on that story, and since no Rat would talk to him, I think he pushed Jeffords by telling him the dairy subsidy was going to be ditched (which it wasn't). He was entirely too gleeful reporting his scoop to Brit Hume.

There is conflict between those who now control the Democratic party and those Democrats that know how to win elections. The good news is Dean, Pelosi and Reid do not know how to win elections. The bad news is the Clintons do.

My Column explains what I think the Clinton's are doing for 2008 and why the current strategy of the Democrats is doomed to failure.
I do not dispair at what the Democrats are doing or Frists response. We may not prevail in this session. We still have more liberal Rinos than will be the case in a few years.
We must keep in mind Frist and our other leaders have to play the game with the players they have. And a number of Democrat seats will be held by true republicans in a few years. On the other hand a number of Rino seats are going to be held by Democrats in a few years. I think the senate will maintain about a 55 to 45 Republican majority, but at least six RINO seats will soon be held by Democrats, and at least six currently liberal seats will be held by true Republicans rather than Liberal Demorcrats.
I urge people not to turn on our party.. just our RINOS. Put pressure on them. But as Reagan said replacing a Senator that is with you 70 percent of the time when a Democrat that is against you 80 percent of a time is not a good idea.
It only feels good for little bit.. then it hurts for decades.
