DON'T CARP about your choices in 2004, 2006, 2008... we don't have complete control, and in fact there's about a minute left on the clock and we're fighting hard to eke out a shallow victory.
LIVE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE... we have 100 senators. That's not going to change before 2006. WORK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, not with the Congress you might wish to have..
