What would Ted Bundy say?

Perhaps we are to believe that Reichert won the narrow victory over Burner because he foresook Terri. Perhaps this is why he squeaked by, not because he was the King Country Sheriff credited with bringing down the infamous Green River serial killer, (possibly the most brutal serial murder yet,) or because Burner was only lukewarm.

Reichert tried in his campaign to impress his swing-district voters with his political independence. As the UW's Jones observed, "He was able to distinguish himself from the Republicans on issues that mattered to that district" by voting for federal money for stem cell research, against Arctic oil drilling and against blocking the halting of life support for the terminally ill Terry Schiavo.

Reichert survived split tickets

We are to hold still while our betters try to stuff us into a new box they have fabricated. Like schoolchildren, we are scolded again by our self-declared masters.

If a guy wants to kill his wife, it is his business. Who are we to think he should be slowed down? How dare we...

Besides, when Americans think of isms, they think -- at least they think first -- of how liberals and conservatives stand on social issues. A liberal backs abortion rights and gun regulations; a conservative wants to ban abortions and legalize all guns. By that measure, what has defined conservatism in the popular mind over the past couple of years has been its willingness to enlist government to block stem cell research, stop the teaching of evolution and supersede the duties of Terri Schiavo's husband.

Conservatives in Denial

>> last week's Democratic tidal wave.

Tidal wave?? I thought it was normal to lose some seats in the mid-terms?
