Ky. House incumbent (Republican): Rumsfeld should go

[deadparrot]

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - A Republican locked in a tight congressional race with a harsh critic of the Iraq war said Wednesday that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld should be replaced.

Rep. Anne Northup (news, bio, voting record), a five-term incumbent, also called for a change of course in Iraq, a stark contrast to her past support of President Bush.

Northup, whose district favored John Kerry over Bush in 2004, said she remains a supporter of the war but wants to see a change in direction as violence has intensified in recent weeks.

"You can have a bad week, you can have two bad weeks, but when you have two bad months, you have to reassess," she said. "You cannot afford to lose the numbers we are losing now and just keep slugging away."

3. Time for another completely wrong prediction

After the mid-terms:

Rumsfeld gets the boot, and is replaced by John Bolton (who did such a good job of helping israel's destruction of Lebanon).
