Ann Coulter was just on Neil Cavuto's show...

First the BAD news....she thinks the dems will take BOTH Houses of Congress...just on the "they are due" theory.

The GOOD news? She called President Clinton "The Horny Hick from Arkansas"....LOL

The name Broussard is very common down in Louisiana.

The Delay seat may be the biggest longshot. A write in candidate is a huge hurdle.

The Ney seat, I read is pretty safe. The woman named is a strong, well known candidate.

It depends who replaces Foley, it could go either way.

btw, here in georgia we have two dem seats that are now looking like republican pick-ups. There are others dem seats in jeopardy, they just are not well publicized.

Not since the Supreme Court's Lawrence decision of 2003.

Though this does NOT sound good.......I still think people should wait to hear the facts before judging someone.

I just read the emails that he sent
http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/09/29/D8KENKI00.html

.....and if that is what gets you into trouble......we all better be careful of what we write to people on the www......

Just a mom, that is VERY protective.....sharing her thoughts.

"Sounds as if Rep. Foley might have a few skeltons in his closet he doesn't want to let out. Also makes you wonder if the rumors are true about him being gay/bisexual.

Let's face it folks, we do not need such types in our party.

I hope and pray that he can be replaced in time with another Republican for the November elections. We can't afford to weakens our party in such a fashion.

"You want to replace the homosexual with a drug addict?"



Do you remember the nose like a vacuum cleaner, we been there done that....and Rush is no Clinton.

Man, you guys are good!

[catholicfreeper]

Broussard is as coomon in Lousiana as smith is elsewhere. I doubt there is a relationship. Plus he is way up there in Monroe

[EnquiringMind]

Hahahahahahah! I laugh out loud every time I see that picture.

[stultorum]

"I don't think he'd just drop out if this were totally false and he had nothing to hide.

Exctly what I thought.

This is, imo, more than an exchange of emails between him and the page. If it only involved an exchange of emails, he would not have resigned. There is more, a lot more.

He needs to be replaced asap by the party. I believe we're still in time to win this seat.

[MineralMan]

I'm sorry, but he already resigned. There will be no recovery for him from this. He's finished, and he's pulled out of the race.

There's more to it than just those emails. Much more, I'd guess, and more to come from other pages, etc., in the coming days, probably.

He's done. I imagine that seat is done, as well.

[SE Mom]

Just got in...reading up on this..

What a mess.

[Dengar01]

Actually Drudge has info that says Foley Sent Explicit sexual stuff to the kid . Gross

Yeah, obviously it was more than what was in that ABC Article. Because if it was just the info in the ABC Article there would be no grounds for resignation in my opinion. It'll be interesting to see what it is...

[kristinn]

I would imagine so. But it could be an interesting coincidence.

[MikefromOhio]

he's resigned...

he's done.

[jpl]

Sad to say but there are a lot of Pubbies who are just as big a POS as all the Democrats.

This guy was a definitely a fake Republican, not just on his behavior, but his voting record as well.

[kristinn]

OK. Thanks.
