HSC sees Kenny's greatest accomplishment as getting Bush re-elected in 2004 and is willing to overlook his personal taste in date partners. I'm sure that HSC was (like all other Republicans) able to see past President Clinton's MORALLY REPREHENSIBLE ACTS and see the good that he contributed as well. Or...maybe no....

Especially the last quote of the article. Basically, I do not care what Ken does or not do in his private life. That is between Ken and God. Don't ask Don't tell, and don't push values onto a society that lives by another code of morals and values. This is a grand way to grow the big GOP tent, right. Grow it and grow it into a tyrannical dictatorship. http://www.gaypeopleschronicle.com/stories05/march/0325054.htm

Electing a man like Max a second time, after he totally abandoned the central precepts of his party and the balanced budget plank in the Contract with America during his first term, is like appointing a known arsonist as fire chief. Meanwhile Barrow voted to extend the GOP tax cuts. Which one is the REAL conservative. Frankly, I cannot tell.

With Athens written out of the district, it is much more conservative. And yes, Barrow is vulnerable. With an incumbent leading by only one point in the poll in as you said, a "liberal" district, that shows vulnerability. The new district is not in anyways as Democratic as the old one.

The new district is just about as Democratic as the old one, and if Max Burns couldn't hold on as an incumbent with Bush killing Kerry at the top of the ticket, he's not going to win as a challenger in a year like this.

Barrows first vote in Congress would be for Pelosi to be Speaker of the House 2. Pelosi has stated that the political pullout date for Iraq has already passed. 3. We are at a cross roads again, the first was with Truman and the Cold War, the second with Reagan and the Economy, and now today with the war on global terror. Barrow would vote for Pelosi therefore voting for a cut n run strategy in Iraq. 4. This is the tightest race there is for a congressional seat...it is also one that if Max wins Ken feels strongly that Republicans will keep control of the House. On another note, How many in the closet gays do we have here on this board...normally those that point it out first or call someone out is normally the gay one hiding..........ask Lance Bass.
