Let him rattle. One challenger with a fifth of his resources could force him to spend it all before the primary, with no guarantee of winning.

But who says that he doesn't already have a golden parachute deal in his back pocket which will save him the ordeal? I mean, a replacement for the old one of being McCain's Vice President, which couldn't happen now unless Ed Wood were directing the universe.

This could absolutely happen. Then, the RNC would cut the winner off without a dime and let the Democrat win.

Don't think so? It almost happened to the junior senator from OK.

I have come to believe that the RNC engineered at least some of our 06 losses to give Bush a "congress he could work with" on amnesty. That anti-amnesty pols are pro-WOT and that he was selling out his war support didn't seem to bother GWBush.
