2. I hate that...

He's a conserv Dem, but not a bad one, IMO. His seat will more than likely go to a repub.

3. I'm afraid this will be another republican win. Not good news. nt

4. Great news for Sen. Macaca

What in the hell is going on out there?

Why?

8. One less War Monger..

Even if he is supposedly a Democrat, he has spent most of his life supporting the Military Industrial Complex...

[Historic NY]

9. & Macaca Allen isn't............

[cynatnite]

10. He's been againsts the Iraq War from day one...

Of course, you probably won't care that in his place we'll get a tea party lovin' repuke who thinks bush is the greatest president of all time.

11. If no "Democrat" can run and convince the people of our goals, it certainly is not my fault.

Democrats are afraid to run on Democratic Principles so what difference does it really make?

[cynatnite]

14. It makes a hell of a lot of difference if you're in the South...

If any Dem is going to have a chance of winning, he must also represent the constituents which are mostly independents and repubs. All the Democratic ideals in the world is not going to change this fact.

12. Kaine should run, and this would make him leave his post at the DNC where

he is so hugely ineffective. (As he probably will be, alas, as a candidate as well...)

[PBS Poll-435]

16. Kaine should run

Even though he would be ineffective?

Am I missing something here?

[charlie]

13. Already?

Quitter.

[cynatnite]

15. He's a quitter if he didn't complete his term. n/t
