Words To Live By
"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

Leaves

I’m off to try to get the leaves in my back yard picked up, but here’s something to ponder for us all over the weekend. Will Obama’s cabinet give the GOP any seats? 

It’ll be curious to see how the map looks for the people he picks out of Congress to be in his administration. IE: If he taps Oberstar or Peterson from Minnesota, doesn’t Pawlenty get to appoint a replacement? Sadly, that may be the only way a Republican could ever get a chance to represent these Districts, despite the conservative issue leanings. 

Anyways, just something to look at as Obama raids the Congressional ranks for his ‘Change” of Washington.

    The Constitution says that House seats must be filled with a special election ASAP.

    Not how it looks to me.

    He shall fill any vacancy that may occur in the offices of secretary of state, auditor, attorney general and the other state and district offices hereafter created by law until the end of the term for which the person who had vacated the office was elected or the first Monday in January following the next general election, whichever is sooner, and until a successor is chosen and qualified.

    I read an article on this theory in The Hill yesterday. According to them:

    if Congress is in session, the governor must call for a special election within five days of the vacancy, and that election must take place within 35 days. Otherwise the vacancy would be filled at the next state general election.
