Suggested Rules
- In an effort to keep things clear, if your comment is about a certain Senator, please include the Senator's name in the title of your comment.
- No Images. None. Please do not post images. Live threads get long, and with images posted refresh times get excruciatingly slow. If you really want to post an image, post it in an open thread and post a link to the open thread comment here. It will help significantly. If you post an image here, it will likely get troll rated.
Update [2005-1-25 13:0:47 by Clever]: For those that missed it, lesliet has put up a transcript of the conclusion of Dayton's speech.. Give it a read.
Update [2005-1-25 13:0:47 by Clever]: They're breaking for lunch and will be back at 2:15 PM EST. Check back then, OR keep using this as a discussion/ranting point. I'll put up a new thread [if no one else claims it] shortly before the resumption of debate.
Update [2005-1-25 14:3:29 by Clever]: This thread is now closed. Cedwyn will have a diary up for the PM discussion, I'll post a link as soon as I can.
