Tim Re...but even something very big can be exagerated. I think the political side of this issue was made into a bigger news story then it should have.<<<<<<<< I don't think we have seen the last of the political side, as the Dem. strategists think GW is susceptible. Carville was on Meet the press last wk. and said the Dems definitely think they will make hay on the issue. Frankly I think the politicians on both sides would hope for a speedy death of the issue. But negative campaigning will keep it alive, to the determent of all. Frankly I am with you in that it was more of an accounting issue, and a fraud, but the fraud wasn't perpetrated because of the donations of ENE, but more because of lax oversight, brought about by lax accounting reg. bought about by donations by the accounting ind. lobbyists to the congressmen who write the oversight rules for the accounting industry. ENE didn't just happen since GW won the election, but rather because of yrs of systemic robbery and fraud by upper management; which means, if a president gets blamed for ENE, it could very well be everybodys favorite crook, Bill. If the DEms are wise, they will drop ENE as an issue, but I wouldn't bet on it.
