And, it can also be a GREAT list to use to call your Congressperson if she/he voted FOR the debacle and REMIND them of the ERROR OF THEIR WAYS! This will become the evidence the people will need when they go to the polls in 08.

If this occurs: Enter Michael Bloomberg! It's the same on the other side of the fence which is precisely why the two party system is antiquated and archaic. The right will run their own indpendent candidate because there's a significant portion of registered repukes who can't stand any of the candidates on their side right now. This campaign season promises to be perhaps the most exciting in our lifetime. It may signal the demise of our 2 party system at last. With 35-37% americans now registered as "Independents", it's clear that none of the candidates and neither party is representing them. It will either be another Boston Tea Party (Taxation without representation) or a Three Party system on the horizon.

There's absolutely nothing the reichwingnuts would love better than for Hillary to become the "nominee" because they will swiftboat her from here to kingdom come (it's already in the words, trust me).

Good work. This will become the evidence the people will need when they go to the polls in 08. These individuals deserve a vote of confidence *unless they've sullied themselves in some other debacle or debouchery since then*. I find the "yea" vote from Waxman and Murtha disconcerting, however.
