Tom Daschle and Tom Foley went down over their cry that "I am da man!". Foley was House Speaker Tin Tim was Senate Minority leader. It was done by forrays into their areas by important folks who assured voters that the challenger will have more sway with us than the incumbent. We need Hastart and Dubya in there (not Spechter or Santorum).

(I'd still like to see a certain resident of Ligonier, a town in the 12th district, approached for help [soto voce: Richard Mellon Scaife. http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:SuQAJDgsn1cJ:archives.cjr.org/year/81/4/scaife.asp+ligonier+pennsylvania+scaife&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=2]).

I think Santorum will certainly be there. He needs Diana to have a good turnout to help his chances statewide. And having the #3 guy in the Senate supporting her campaign won't hurt.

Hastert would be good, but I still think Dubya might backfire - turning it into a Murtha vs. President Bush contest. I'd still like to see VA's George Allen help her out, and increase his standing with veterans in the process.

I totally agree with you and I'm sure everyone is aware of the resident of Ligonier now. :-)
