I blame the one issue folks on this. They are so hung up on abortion, they would rather sit at home and not vote than vote for a Republican candidate. That attitude gave us Hillary instead of Lazio.

If we had Lazio, the Republicans would still be in charge even with the Jeffords defection.

The one issue crowd does so much damage. Here's proof.

You may have point. May be.

Aside from Jefford's switch-a-roo-ski, I look at Ashcroft's unwillingness to play hardball down in Missouri, as a big reason why Republicans don't control the Senate today. Think about it. Carnahan was dead! He was elected, not his wife.

There are other reasons too.
