To me, the key is the fact that McAwful still has a job. Nov 2002 was a consummate failure for the RATS and, therefore, for the DNC Chair. There is absolutely NO WAY this man should still be there. Let's examine the record:
1) Loss of control of the U.S. Senate when they should have gained seats since Pubbies had more seats to defend.
2) Loss of a half dozen U.S. House seats when history has shown that the party in the White House almost always loses seats in the first mid-term.
3) Loss of RAT majority in the state legislatures for the first time since Ike's first term. (50 years)
4) No net loss of gubernatorial seats for Pubbies when they were expected to lose several due to term limits. (RATS gained 2 but it was at the expense of Indys).
5) All of the above in the wake of a lackluster economy.
And to put icing on it all, his self-stated top priority was to knock of Jeb Bush in Florida. Why in the world would a gubernatorial race be his top priority when his party's top priority should have been to retain the U.S. Senate? And to top that off, his "top priority" was utterly creamed.
Which leads me to conclude that McAwful is being artificially kept in place by the true rulers of the RAT party(ie. the Clintons). Also, the Clintons' goal cannot possibly be the advancement of the RAT party. I can only conclude that the penultimate goal must be the advancement of Hitlery.
One other thing I derive from all this: The Clintons fear Jeb!
I think they see him as Hitlery's most likely opponent in '08, and they don't like it and would rather face someone else. I used to think that McAwful's obsession with the FL gov race was based solely on bitterness over 2000, but now I think there's more to it ==> they're already waging the '08 campaign.
