1. The GOP retakes the Senate with at least a 3 vote majority ( so that if a couple of wusses I won't mention decide to switch parties...we won't get hurt) and
2. Trent Lott is NOT the Majority Leader...He's gotta go...I really think that Rick Santorum is the guy for the job. Frist would be OK, too, but health care issues....prescription drugs, etc..will be a big campaign issue for the Dems, and they'll just demonize Frist as a millionaire doctor...
TRIAL LAWYERS ARE "CALLING IN A CHIT ON THIS ONE."
"[T]he Democrats are insisting that the [terrorism insurance] bill not limit non-economic damage claims by victims of terrorist attacks - reportedly at the urging of trial lawyers' lobbyists. Republicans favor a cap. Trial lawyers have given heavily to top Democrats and the Democratic National Committee over the years, and they appear to be calling in a chit on this one."
(Ted Bunker, "U.S. Insurers Slow Economy Post-Sept. 11," The Boston Herald, June 10, 2002)
