| #5 So true, ES. She did set the bar rather high, didn't she? Voinovich, Chafee, and Specter, hell - include Snowe and Collins too, had better be able to juggle, I don't think anyone's gonna fall for their physical charms. The cat's outta the bag - they'd better pray they don't run into any hot up & comers on their next cycle - they won't get any Party help if there's anyone else worthy to give it to. Guys like Vitter in LA and Thune in SD demonstrate no one is immune if the right candidate comes along... mucking out the RINO barn is overdue. |
Prime Minister Paul Martin survived a confidence motion by a single vote Thursday, allowing him to retain power and easing one of Canada's most dramatic political standoffs in decades. The House of Commons split 152-152 on the measure that served as a confidence motion and it took a vote by the parliament speaker to give the minority government its one-vote victory. "The margin of tonight's vote is very narrow — indeed that is an understatement," said Martin. "We must now move forward in a spirit of cooperation. We ask the opposition to join with us in a renewed effort to make this Parliament work for the people of Canada," he said.
