No way, the Republicans are "burnt" toast because of the Cheney/Enron/Ralph Reed triangle.
I love it when you disagree with me. With your track record, it pretty well insures that I'm right.
With Enron, the investigations will eventually lead back to Clinton's twisting of Indian and Nigerian and Croatian political arms so that Enron landed big projects and Democrats got big (for them) campaign donations.
President Bush's team has simply been playing this issue so that it will be Democrats who insist upon all of the investigations and punishments, only to have in the end Democrats burned by the eventual investigations. Just as feeding the Democrats fake stories about cocaine useage trapped and tricked many Democrats during election 2000, so too will this whole Enron "big energy" investigation end up turning against the Dems. It is brilliant, and because too many Dems are allowed to believe that GWB is stupid, they'll all fall for this trap, too.
The beauty of this slick Enron angle is that GWB won't have to lift a finger to get Clinton back under investigation. It will be Democrats caught up in their own (16) multiple investigations of Enron that will come back to point out that Clinton's assistant Treasury Secretary Linda Robertson illegally took an Enron job as a lobbyist (violating Clinton's Executive Order #12834) at that time. It will be Democrats investigating Enron who find out that Robert Rubin and Mack McClarty were engaged in illegal Enron activities, too (as was Clinton's Energy Secretary Bill Richardson).
Oooooooh, don't throw me in that Enron briar patch!
For me, I want MORE and more media atention on Enron. Let's have big book deals, movie deals, inside interviews, moles, whistle-blowers, everything.
The real danger about Enron is that it might not blow up against the Democrats in time to smash them in the 2002 elections. A little extra media coverage should insure against that eventuality, however.
Goodness, what's going to happen when Fox News starts running those video clips of Ken Lay golfing with Clinton, or better yet, of Ken Lay snow skiing with Clinton on his very first vacation to Vail in 1993?! Wasn't Ken Lay Ann Richard's biggest lifetime campaign contributor, too?!
Ouch! Who else hung out with Lay?? Think Milosovich will mention anything about Clinton's team banging heads to get the Croation power deal for Enron during his highly visible trial at the Hague?? What about the public taxpayer funds that Clinton got for Enron's power deal in India? Protecting Social Security, indeed... And don't even get me started on Terry McAulliffe and Global Crossing.
