could lead to problems, but could also not be nothing more than a pause.

Some minor talk show pundits have chatted about this with the same tone as Fritmas and DeLays mug shot; they are probably dreaming as always; besides from what I have read he spread it around to everyone although this article focuses on Repubs and a slight mention of Reid.

ginned up pseudo-scandal du jour for the dem-media establishment.

AFP's going to update the article when it is revealed just how many millions ended up going to the DNC.. Donations to state DNC GOTV programs in excess of $500,000 per state for battleground states will blare from the headlines...
And pigs will start flying.
He and his cohorts were almost as bad as the corrupt tribal councils that poured money into their hands. I hope the liberals really try to ride this pony; they're going to find out he's really just an ass.

I seriously hope that everyone gets fried that is involved in any corrupton with this case. Everyone. And if anyone here doesn't think the same, you don't really believe in a Free Republic.

Ah, non-news to keep the story alive. Very nice.

Patrick Kennedy (D) was the number one recipient of money from the tribal "contributions," if I remember correctly.

This will be interesting. Like others have said, both parties are going to be impacted by this.

From the Washington ComPost: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/02/AR2005060202158.html
Among the biggest beneficiaries were Capitol Hill's most powerful Democrats, including Thomas A. Daschle (S.D.) and Harry M. Reid (Nev.), the top two Senate Democrats at the time, Richard A. Gephardt (Mo.), then-leader of the House Democrats, and the two lawmakers in charge of raising funds for their Democratic colleagues in both chambers, according to a Washington Post study. Reid succeeded Daschle as Democratic leader after Daschle lost his Senate seat last November.
Democrats are hoping to gain political advantage from federal and Senate investigations of Abramoff's activities and from the embattled lobbyist's former ties to House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.). Yet, many Democratic lawmakers also benefited from Abramoff's political operation, a fact that could hinder the Democrats' efforts to turn the lobbyist's troubles into a winning partisan issue.
"It wouldn't surprise me to see the Abramoff controversy impact both parties," said Tony Raymond, co-founder of PoliticalMoneyLine.com, which gathers lobbying and campaign finance information.
Democratic lawmakers who responded to inquiries for this article said that any money they received from the tribes had nothing to do with Abramoff. They were quick to say they did not know the man.
ROFLMAO!

If this nails anyone it's going to nail both parties. Democrats have no principles so I won't waste my time arguing about them.
But Republicans have been lukewarm at best defending our principles in public.
What makes anyone here so sure they are principled when they have their hands out while no one is looking?

Trouble for both Dems and Pubbies.
I believe Harry Reid took money from a 'friend' of Abramoff.
