Even if Zell switched his vote for Majority Leader today, the Senate RATS would still have the Power of the Filibuster to keep any significant Rightward-leaning legislation from being passed between now and November. However, with Puff Daschle as the PosterBoy for the RATS' Obstructionist Senate, every GOP Senate candidate gets to run against Daschle (and with Dubyuh)!! That's HUGE, IMHO, and will lead to a Major RATstompin' by the GOPers this November!!
Every Hero needs a Nemesis, and Jeffords' Defection provided Dubyuh an extremely-LOATHEable Arch-Enemy in ArchDemonRAT, Puff Daschle...let's take advbantage of our Good Fortune!!
