We Lost a Good One.Burningbird observes:
We Lost a Good One. Senator Paul Wellstone and his wife and daughter and three staff members and two pilots died in a plane crash today. Their deaths are horribly tragic and my sympathies go out to their families and friends. But in these times,...and, pointedly,
From a purely political perspective, this tragedy puts the Democratic control of the Senate at risk. If the Republicans win control of the Senate, and they maintain control of the House, Bush will have unfettered accessto as much power as he wants, to use as he wants. It will be next to impossible to control him and his cabinet at this point.
We couldn't agree more. The current situation is frightening, and looks to get more so before it gets better.
