But I think I will get A LOT more "good" votes from her than from McGavick. Plus, since she is a Democrat, if they achieve majority status, control in the Senate passes to them. That will impact the committee leadership and structure and change the agenda in that body.Howard Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13048708416618301954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9307574.post-1141922591346974252006-03-09T08:43:00.000-08:002006-03-09T08:43:00.000-08:00You can have the highest average in the class but,...You can have the highest average in the class but, if you scored really low on your math test, you probably have a problem in math. My point is, voting to stop drilling in Alaska does not offset voting to authorize George W. Bush (or any other president) sole authority to send Americans to war. You are welcome to believe differently but you cannot negate my feelings. By the same token, you can stand (with the total state delegation) against more tankers in Puget Sound, but that does not offset being the ONLY DEMOCRAT in the state to vote to re-authorize the stripping of our civil liberties via the Patriot Act. <BR/><BR/>I realize that I will get the same bad votes from McGavick with none of the good ones and that is why I am supporting Mark Wilson in the primary. Perhaps, if Mark wins the nomination, it might be enough to cause the Greens to reconsider their support for the Democratic candidate.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/><BR/>Chad (The Left) ShueChad Shuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00661116811043692809noreply@blogger.com
