Actually, I heard George Stephy on the ABC radio news saying just what you did...

That Schumer, Hillary and gang are thrilled to be "to the right" of President Bush on this...

We have one plus...this is only February...and hopefully, their LEFTINESS will overtake any advantage they think they have gotten from this...

I saw the "hearing" today...and the President's men were very, very good in explaining their positions...and the dem Senators really acted like they didn't know what questions to ask...

They just kept asking them if they had contacted the 9/11 commission!!! puh-lllllllleeeze!

I take exception with being against this deal as being 'to the right", how is losing a key ally in that region "on the right"?

The good news, as you note, is that there is time to recover. I'm just amazed and somewhat disconcerted by the number of conservatives who jumped ship on this initially without even wondering whether they should get any facts.

Even if the Dems lose on this, which I think they will, they are going to take note of how successful it was if even for a short time.

If they can pull some other similar issue out just before the elections, they'll do it. Conservatives will jump off ship in droves.
