Carl Rove recently told a group of Republican congressmen that they lost the majority because of the corruption more than the Iraq war. (i.e. Cunningham and Foley.

IF in fact this is the case, you would have to imagine the Dems would be all over this weeks raid of Senator Steven's home and linking it with Republicans.

However, earily, this was not the case. Maybe more is known about this story and its impending affects on the Democrats.

Also, my hope it would be Schumer. To modify a quote from one of the biggest jerks to ever roam Washington, "I want to see Shumer Frog-marched out of the Rayburn Senate Building"

In the Cunningham and Foley cases, it was the exquisite scandal timing that did the damage. Letting some story out now will see it mostly deflated by election time.
