Diana Irey beating Murtha would be the same kind of rush for conservatives that Coleman beating Daschle was in 2004.Coleman beat Walter Mondale who was filling in for the recently killed Paul Wellstone. John Thune beat Daschole. (Or you could say Daschole beat Daschole).
Don't get me wrong, I really would like to see Murtha go down.
So much did I desire to see Daschole defeated that I sent contributions to Thune twice. (Now, there's Dingy Harry Reid in his place. Grrrrrr) It would take more than money, however, to blast Kennedy and Rinos Collins and Snowe out of their seats.
South Carolinians are not happy w/Lindsey Graham, so there is a real possibility of his having a strong opponent in '08...Ravenel.
