I was reading this Yahoo article and wondering how the media came up with only 54 Republican seats. The answer came two paragraphs later. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&u=/ap/20041103/ap_on_el_se/eln_senate
So is the fucking traitor vermin finally going to admit that he's a RINO scum? He and Jeffords deserve to be ass-buddies with each other, but I don't see what the Dems could offer the little weasel. Then again, considering how he's voted in the past, I don't see why the Republicans would give him any seat higher than Minority Party Toilet Scrubber. |
| We don't really count on Chaffee for much anyway. I expect that the senator won't switch since the reaction will be a collective yawn. An attention whore will maximize his impact. Leaving the R party now will not change anything. Jeffords had it right, in a way. At least his jumping changed something. |
Yeah, that's what I don't get. Chaffee has long been socialist trash, just like his father before him. But if Frist or anyone else on the R side is paying attention, Chaffee won't get so much as a toilet-wiping position now. And I don't see what the D's can offer him that would benefit him. Oh well. Whatever. Just means six more to go before the R's can reliably break filibusters. It'll be a few more elections. . . . |
There are a lot of perks if you don't constantly shaft your party. I don't think Chaffee gets much from the Republicans... maybe he is trying to see if the Dems will offer him anything special? |
