[M. Thatcher]

Love it!

Hound the guy.

NOBODY ever does this to Democrats, and they have NO DEFENSE for it. They have no comeback. It's not in the handbook. Public scrutiny of Democrats so rarely happens, that when it does, they cave immediately, just like...Republicans. (Well, it's true.) Daschle never in his life has felt political heat from the actual PUBLIC, i.e. VOTERS. I say it's time he did!

(The one caveat I have is that I do not buy into the notion that America needs Daschle or anyone else in DC to "save" the economy. But that is really beside the point of the necessity for Daschle to be held accountable.) I say, GO TO IT!

Well, of course I realize that the economy functions quite well without the government. That is not the point. They are hoping they can hang this recession on W. I say that we have now been given the opportunity to hang it on the democrats, with Daschle as their flag-bearer!

I am now off to search schedules! I hope to have the first edition ready tomorrow!
