Are you trying to spin it away from your raggety-ass senators -- because conservatives will remember George Allen's sellout.
No.
I'm trying to point out that the President is in deep trouble. He's losing his strongest supporters...ie: George Allen.
And, until and unless the President stands up and defends himself, I will find it difficult to convict those who chose not to stand up and defend him.
I want GWB to find his courage. When his does, the Party will be back. If he doesn't....the Party will splinter and lose all it has gained through a generation of hard, hard work.
The choice and the solution rest with the President.
