We are just pleased that the Republican leadership feels that Martha has the best chance of success in November.

He?s had success everywhere he?s been as a closer. He deserves the chance to see if he can do it at this level.

well over an hour here . . . while the (Republican) leadership variously cajoled, bribed, browbeat, et cetera, a few Republicans who wanted to have it both ways - who wanted to give people the impression they were opposed to (the Central American Free Trade Agreement) while they were ready to cave in for sufficient inducement.

There was no imminent threat. This was made up in Texas, announced in January to the Republican leadership that war was going to take place and was going to be good politically. This whole thing was a fraud.
