Actually they were talking about a poll on Fox and Friends this morning and only 14% of Americans are even paying attention to this issue and are interested. Most Americans are just too busy to be bothered. So Judy is full of Crapola!
It is 17 months until the next elections. This will be a non-issue in every Senate race in 2006. People care about their senator, not the Senate as a whole. The average voter's recollection span is about 3-4 weeks, at best.
Additionally, should the RATS and their media handmaidens try to nationalize this issue, we counter with the fact that the RATS and the MSM were trying to deny a white woman from Texas and a black woman from California an overdue job promotion. How is that going to sell? Not too well.
RATS are holding a losing hand on this, and they know it. If they and the MSM persist, they will be increasingly seen by average Americans as the hypocrites that they truly are.
