Louisiana may become a Republican. He thinks that Kerry is much too liberal to be the Democratic candidate. In the meantime, Nancy Pelosi and Tom Daschle, and House and Senate Democrats, are excited by Kerry and are coordinating their attempt to retake the House and the Senate with the Kerry campaign. Pelosi said that they will create an "echo chamber on the issues of jobs, health care, education, the environment and national security." We hear you Nancy, and we think it is a great idea. Please coordinate to your heart’s content. I’ll bet anyone any amount that the Demos will not take back the Senate or the House. That would have been true no matter who the presidential candidate turned out to be, and that remains true with Kerry leading the ticket, as we used to say.
