The case isn't going to turn off the conservative base. The conservative base isn't that stupid. They know that Foley is the problem of the people of his district and if they make it their problem, they get high taxes, funds cut for the War on Terror, 2 years of impeachment hearings, a roll back on partial birth abortion legislation, Pelosi as Speaker of the House, Conyers as head of Judiciary, so, no, they're not going to be that turned off.

Didn't you get the memo? Foley is on the ballot in every Congressional district! We're doomed!

This is a local problem that local people in Foley's district will handle. I doubt that most of Middle America even know who Foley is or cares. This scandal is strictly limited to politicalholics on the blogs and in the MSM.

Brother Dobson was bitching this morning about Foley and the fact that congress hasnt done anything for the values voters who put them in office. I wouldnt be so sure.

......The case isn't going to turn off the conservative base..... You're probably right about that, but we really need more than the conservative base to keep the house in Repub hands. I understand there are 15 house seats that the Dems need to win...that does sound like a lot, but it could happen.

Mark Green left his Wisconsin House of Representative seat to run for govenor, and it doesn't look too good for him to be elected govenor of Wisconsin. I don't know who is running for his House seat, but maybe it would have been better had he not run for govenor and kept his house seat.

The waiting is nerve racking, especially watching the Dems and the MSM ratcheting up their tactics.
