What on earth does that matter? We are not having a national election this year, what matters are state races.

WILL IT STILL BE HER SENATE?
If only Hutchinson had had the decency to not divorce his wife (imagine that--keeping one's wedding vows, or at least not immediately marrying some younger gal in the office if you do)....
If only Raciot had had the altruism to run against Baucus (and if we don't take the Senate, Raciot doesn't deserve to keep his cushy RNC job either!).....
If only we had been able to keep the NJSC in Republican control and keep Torch on the ballot (imagine that, too--a state having to follow its own election laws!).....
If only we had been able to keep Paul Wellstone's plane in the air (after all, even hallowed liberals are subject to the law of gravity and the great equalizer, Death)......
If only we could have caught onto the rampant voting fraud in South Dakota reservations earlier.....
If only someone had taught Bob Smith early in life the importance of shutting up and knowing when to graciously leave....
If only the same "rules" of etiquette, politics, and ethical behavior applied to Democrats as well as Republicans....
Then would someone care to tell me why we are slipping so dramatically in the Iowa futures market? I think we've lost 15-20 pts in the last 3-4 days.
