20. that's only becuz he's smells an upcoming election
remember, he was part of the majority party until 06, what oversight of the Executive Branch did he do, he was all
sound and fury signifying nothing.

22. That isn't uncommon for my Senator
I actually am surprised he hasn't switched parties.

Fox gives him the big (D) all the time.

41. Not quite
Clinton was impeached by the House. Specter is a senator and voted "not proven" on conviction.

43. Message from Jim Dean
Received by email today from Democracy for America:

We just had a huge victory. Grassroots action forced the Senate to stop telecom immunity from passing.

Earlier today, DFA members made over 1,000 calls an hour to our Senators. And they heard our voices loud and clear.

Tonight I'll be watching President Bush give his final State of the Union. As usual, he will be fear-mongering and pushing his radical agenda on the American people.

Thanks to your work today, we flipped the vote and forced Senate Democrats to have a backbone.

Jim
