OK, since you know who the nominee is, how about a hint on who the VP will be, the suspense is monumental.

You can handle the suspense. You've been pretty good with the drama so far.

Let me put this another way.  I don't know what is so dramatic about calling the senate "pathetic."  Few would argue this, and the RINOs are just as bad as the dems.  The problem is Allen is a sitting senator of this same pathetic body, even though he is an exception to the rule of idiots there.  I've never even remotely implied that he isn't a good guy, but he's still a senator, and by that association he's unelectable in my view.  That is not a fact, just an opinion.  That's all, it's not complicated. 

Even McPain gets it, and I'm suggesting that this has a whole lot less to do with Allen and more to do with stink attached to him by virtue of being a senator.  If he doesn't take off in the first couple of primaries, he is toast. Enter McCain, Clinton, Biden, Gore, Edwards, Kerry, Lieberman, - and that's just a recent short list and you've got a recipe for failure in flyover counties.  This country, IMO, will not elect a senator, any senator.  It would be a terrible precedent to set at least for the coming generation if the past generation is any indication.

It is too bad that you have a dem governor, else he could resign from the senate, take a high profile WH position in the meantime and shed that senate baggage to be considered a serious candidate.

From yesterday:

McCain's warning

Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, yesterday reached out to conservatives and warned that the midterm elections will be difficult for the Republican Party.
"We Republicans are going to have a tough race in 2006 because the country is not happy with us," Mr. McCain said yesterday in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. "We have a 25 percent approval rating in Congress."
