It may well cost us more than a seat. It could cost us the entire House. I've gotten angry with the coverage, though. Yes, Reps should have dealt with this a long time ago. But I can guarantee you that Dems knew about it too and waited to spring this until now, just before the election. Their "it's for the children" just doesn't cut it.

I don't doubt this but again this comes back to leadership. This coming out was forseeable. Politics is a rough game. If you know an uncomfortable secret about an opponent you don't spring it in March, you spring it in October. Our guys would have waited until right before the election too if they had a juicy secret. Thats why this should have been headed off at the pass and Foley should have been eased out months ago when the first emails came to light.
