GOP Officials Brace for Loss Of Seven to 30 House Seats - washingtonpost.com

The Foley scandal is hurting the GOP? No! the thing is that the scandal will not have much of an effect on the local races, but overall it seems to be hurting the GOP. If for nothing else it has overwhelmed the message from the GOP leadership and the White House. What national security problem? We have a pederast in the comservative party of the country. We must defend our children! Isn't that national security? Our children's safety?

It has taken two precious weeks out of the message timeline. I'm sure the GOP has adjusted things, but the clock keeps ticking. Denny seems to have weathered the storm, but it he's going to be a has-been if he isn't already. He'll have a nice pension and all that, but he's done for now. The loss of the Hammer earlier this year is hurting him badly. The discipline and loyalty has left. All he has now is the office and that doesn't look too good for January at the latest.
