This Guy Gets It

Moderate Republicans, Congressional Elections and Foley
by Stephen Crockett


In the closing weeks of the 2006 Congressional Elections, Republican incumbents should be very worried about the impact of Congressman Foley's sexual misdeeds and the widespread cover-up by top Republican Congressional leaders. Many Republicans in Congress have carefully crafted public images as "independent" or "moderate" politicians that often do not reflect their actual voting records. Voting for these Republicans helps keep in power the same Congressional leaders involved in the cover-up. This in turn keeps in place the unpopular, corrupt policies of the Republicans on issues like Iraq, media concentration, campaign finance, prescription drugs and taxes.

Will the voters make the connection in local races? If they do, Republican Congressmen like Mike Castle in Delaware and Wayne Gilchrest in Maryland may see safe seats seriously threatened. Democratic challengers like Dennis Spivack in Delaware and Jim Corwin in Maryland may quickly see large increases in the amount of campaign cash flowing into their efforts. If they get funds to air TV and radio ads making the connection between the Republican incumbents and keeping the corrupt national leaders in control of Congress, campaigns like these will show surprising life.


Read the whole thing.

ALSO:LISTEN TO WILM THIS AFTERNOON.(They claim that the stream is fixed.)
I PLAN ON OPENING A CAN OF WHIP ASS ON THE NEWS JOURNAL FOR NOT REPORTING THE REAL STORY ON CASTLE'S HEALTH.

Comments:
I saw a poll (can't remember where) that talked about Castle's insurmountable lead over Spivack. It also talked about how the independents broke to Castle for the Congressional seat while going the way for Carper in the senate. The same with Dems.
 
Hey Sanjay,
That poll is totally out of date. In politics a week can be a lifetime. The poll you saw was taken before Castle's stroke and before the Foley melt-down. If Spivack is quick on his feet and takes a strong stand he could pull this off.

We know Rove controls Fox but now AP too?
 
Next thing you know they'll be saying Bush is a Democrat.

As for the Dow the "new high" means it is back to where it was when Clinton was in the White House. Hip Hip Hooay!!
