Ok, good. Must've read something into your post you did not mean. After reading your next post, looks like you're working pretty hard on the problem. Thanks, Jim

I apologize, Jim. Maybe I should have been clearer. And everyone knows I'm given to hyperbole and taking very unpopular positions on things. It's my nature. And every time I start to find myself in agreement with Clair Wolfe, I refuse to accept it and I go back to bang my head against the same wall in futility. I saw a glimmer of hope in my local Republican Party and I've latched on to it. I hope it pans out this time.

Actually, we do probably disagree on something. As much as I want Republicans to control the Senate - and to send the Dems packing - there is nothing anyone could say to me or threaten me with that would make me vote for John McCain again. Nothing. If the Republicans want that Senate seat to stay Republican, they better quickly find a candidate to beat McCain in the Primary in 2004.

If John Senator John McCaine represented the one vote margin for the Republicans in the Senate vs allowing the Democrats to hold on to it, I would vote for him (assuming I could). Otherwise, I would vote the mutinous bastard out. Control of the Senate and their committees is that important. It is my number one priority this election cycle. Control of the Senate is for all the marbles.
