MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Sen. George Allen, R-Va.; former Navy Secretary James Webb, Allen's Democratic challenger.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Arlen Specter, R-Pa., and Carl Levin, D-Mich.; Hadley.

Although I like the sentiment, respectfully, this would be the wrong target and strategy. Letters should be to support President Bush, and by extension, Secretary Rice and Rumsfeld. Powell is one wheel of a left running machine and the whole thing has to be derailed, not just him.
I'm not a huge Novak fan but it takes a lot of guts to call him a liar, which is what's happening by the left. Still, Powell is not the one to contradict. The targets have to be all the Democrats and those RINO's who support the left.
"Lions and tigers, and RINO's oh my!" So True!
I think Senator Allen just blew it. He opines that the US unilaterally "changing" the Geneva Conventions might imperil our troops in the future. Timmy sets it up as "will you vote with Prez Bush or Senator Warner?" Want to highlight the "split" they are trying to create between Republicans.
I would prefer that he were honest and joined the Democrats, as he clearly is one. I believe that he only joined the Republicans because he knew the Dems would never give him any real power or truly trust him because of his military background. The Republicans provided him his only true shot at power and that was what he craved over everything else.
Don't view his coming out as a rat as something to fear. View it as an admission of guilt.
I've heard enough of Chris Wallace and am waiting for Bret and the panel, not Wallace.
I agree but don't think Allen can avoid it. What Allen should be saying is decisions are made at the time with the intelligence at hand, not three or four years later. Being a Senator means making decisions, not putting them off a few years to see how things are working out.
Bret = Brit......Coffee, anyone? lol
LOL
Sorry. You didn't get any because I finished the last drop
I'm more of a Diet Mountain Dew guy.
OMG, i feel i was just educated, thanks. And i have been at FR all week.
I've thought this was a possibility for a long time. Can you say
McCain/Lieberman '08?
Agreed. Now more than ever before.
Wallace was pretty weasely today, just like last week. I'm getting really annoyed by him. Panel up now....it will be interesting to see who gets slapped down (no Juan today).
To quote Ronald Reagan:
"We win, they lose."
Timmy is now giving Webb a chance to clean up his "women can't fight" remark. We will now get to hear what the response the DNC has crafted for him.
What was he thinking? It 's the President's GOTV team going to elect him, not McCain or the media. They are going to repeat it all over again & again.
WOW! Kristol is with Bush and not with McCain on this issue....shocking!
