Excellent points, PD..and if I might add..I thinka lot of the pressure is coming from within the GOP caucus itself..Nearly 25% were elected in the last two campaigns...2002 and 2004..and liek Thune..they fought the race ON these issues..and they won..I head Thune, Vitter, and Coleman in the Senate last week...they do NOT want to compromise..they want to govern..

[processing please hold]

I head Thune, Vitter,

I called Vitter and gave him an earful a couple of weeks ago. I was next to livid. I half thought the FBI would come knocking at my door thinking I had become unhinged.

I didn't switch parties to become part of bunch of limp wristed panty waist(although I am a woman)Republicans. The dimocraps are losers on all levels. It's time for our leaders to do our bidding...not theirs. Or, there will be hell to pay come '06 and '08.

and we need to gain more in 06 - I wonder if they can't speak up louder because their files weren't stolen and copied for blackmail in the early 90's in hiterly's file gate
