The Republicans have been relatively quite as these bashing of Democrates and Bo take place....I am thinking they are preparing..at least hopefully so...to come out swinging when it matters the most that they do. It doesn't help having Steel at the helm unfortunately... Today Sheriff Joe said the "gloves come off"...they have pushed him far enough it would seem. And they will continue to do so as these elections come into view. All can take a page out of Palins book...she knows how to nail them...and she does. But will the Republicans step up when it really matters?....we shall indeed see.
For months, Slick, Carville, and Stephanopolis were out bashing Bush the Elder day after day after day. 41 didn't respond in kind. My friend and I were incredulous. Every day one of us would say to the other "I bet he'll come out swinging soon." After awhile we were saying "He'd better come out swinging soon." Bush never did....and he lost.
Unfortunately, history is repeating itself here in Washington State with Patty Murray vs Dino Rossi for US Senate. Dino would make a great Senator, but Murray has her slime machine working overtime. Dino is the ultimate "Nice Guy" and isn't responding in kind. I keep thinking: "Dino had better come out swinging soon...."
I'm getting a bad feeling.
