Dems 2 Repubs 0

Well, well, well it looks like the repubs have 2 strikes against them right now, 1st one was when Sen Reid out manuvered Sen Frist on the judicial filibuster. Reid offered Frist a compromise but Frist being the proud man that he is said no. Frist has backed himself into a corner and looks weak if he caves on this. The american taliban want him to hold his position even when polls are not in his favor. So Frist is standing his ground pandering to the Dobson's and Perkins and just waiting to pull the nuclear lever. This was a risky move on Reid's part but he pulled it off beautifully, he looks like a moderate willing to compromise and Frist looks just plain bad.

Strike 2, Speaker of the House, Dennis Hassert had to come out on TV and announce that they are repealing the rules put in place to protect Delay from ethics violations. Delay has backed the repubs against the wall and they are not playing dodge ball with him anymore and are starting to turn. The rules that were changed allowed for the ethics committee to dismiss any ethics charge if they were deadlocked between the 5 dems and 5 repubs on the committee. Now there will be an investigation brought up on Delay, the only thing we need to worry about is the repubs trying to sweep it under the rug. Hassert doesn't want to go down with Delay so he came to his senses and put things back to normal.

Hmm what will strike 3 be, hopefully its just a matter of time when something even bigger breaks and the repubs end up with egg on their face yet again.
