Ok..can anyone tell me where things stand in the Senate race and GOP control of the Senate and House for that matter...everyone (liberals and Conservatives alike) are telling me that its not looking good for the GOP in either the House or the Senate.
I love Zell, but get real. American Conservative Union lifetime ratings:
Isakson - 84
Miller - 65

And I think when all is said and done the GOP will keep CO.
Don't let the ACU rating fool you. Miller has become much more conservative in the last year or so.
Also, Isakson has something like a 40% Planned Parenthood rating.
Karl Rove strikes again.
Why is Karl to blame for this???
Because Karl is believed to be behind the decision to ask Harris to wait till next Senate election.
I didn't say he was to "blame" for anything. Rove pressured Harris to stay out for his chosen candidate--Martinez. I am not going to say this choice is doomed, although I would much prefer Ms Harris as Senator. We need more GOP women, and especially ones who are not RINOs.
Martinez is a very strong conservative candidate who could beat any of the three Democrats who are running here in Florida. The most recent polls show McCollum losing to all the Democrats. Martinez is actually more conservative than McCollum, but he draws hispanic voters that would normally vote Democrat.
I'm volunteering to help Martinez, although I helped McCollum in 2000. McCollum is running the same kind of lame campaign he did then. We need Martinez to win the primary--and we'll get a good pro-life, pro-family, conservative Senator to replace Bob Graham.
