Agree 100%. I think while he has been moderately effective behind the scenes, unfortunately the job of speaker is to be up front, to take on the creeps on TV. Hastert has been worse than MIA on that. Newt put his foot in his mouth from time to time, but at least he was on TV when he did so.
No; she was 20-something.
What's all this apologizing all of a sudden?I'm getting sick of all these apologies,let's get em over with.ALL TOGETHER NOW,"I'M SORRY"!Feel better now??
The GOP is eating their young right now> If John McCain wants to make it thru the 08 GOP primaries, he could start by supporting Haesert publicly
Well the GOP should find a Rep with strong speaking skills to go out and handle the media.
Much ado about nothing!
Give Sherwood another chance!
Why do guys well into their 70's or beyond want so separately to hold onto their seats?
The Sherwood situation bugs me because this should still be a safe R seat. If not for the affair there's a good possibility Sherwood would have been unopposed again.
That said the 10th CD is getting less R because of people moving in from NJ and NY but no where near actually turning D in normal times.
Between this, Foley and now that other Democrat who is charging phone sex calls to the taxpayers, it's like a scumbag roundup this month.
" Peter Fiztgerald's relationship with the IL GOP soured."
Interesting. It got sour with the Gov guy who got convicted of corruption? fancy that... so those corrupt 'get along go along' GOP leader didnt like a smart effective senator and his DA.
It's tragic we threw away the Fitzgerald seat for obamarama.
