The US Senate is constipated, but that does not mean it needs Irksome Bowels.

Doesn't matter either way, because the Democrats run the Senate, and will continue to run the Senate after the next election, no matter the outcome.

A little over a year from now, Bowels will be known as another Dem 2 time loser.
He will have the distinction of having been beat once by a girl. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

In case folks missed earlier threads on the 2004 Senate race in North Carolina, let me qoute from a
Chatlotte Observer article of about two weeks ago:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We don't feel intimidated at all by Richard Burr," said Brad Woodhouse, press secretary for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and a former Bowles aide. "They've cleared the field for a guy who was selling toasters before he went into Congress and is virtually unknown outside his district. That's a big risk for a U.S. Senate seat." Burr, first elected in 1994, was marketing director for a wholesale business that dealt in appliances before he began his political career.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This comment about having to work for a living is from a guy whose candidate is running on his wife's fortune. I hope people here in North Carolina, especially, remember that. Assuming Bowles is the Democratic nominee, the "Party of the People" will run, for their third consecutive Senate race in NC, an extremely wealthy candidate who will largely self-finance his race.
This is not, of course, to say that Erskine Bowles hasn't interacted with "common folks." Indeed he has, largely in the form of caddies and waiters he dealt with at each of several country clubs up and down the east coast he was a member of before joining the Clinton administration. (Of course, he dropped out of most of them when he was shocked -- shocked -- to discover that they didn't have minority members.)
There's nothing wrong with being rich, nor even with marrying into money as so many prominent Dems seem to do. But snide comments from representatives of the leisure class about "selling toasters" is repugnant.
We'll see who is "toast"
in about 13½ months.
