LOL, not only did she fail to clarify, she made things worse! "She's already on thin ice with her performance on the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee last year," says a DSCC staffer, noting that as leader of the committee she'd promised her caucus would widen its majority control of the Senate. "And she's up for re-election this time around and already in trouble. People up here are pulling their hair out over this." The Democratic concern is that Murray's wet kiss to Osama will continue to haunt her politically at home, where the White House is hoping to lure either Rep. Jennifer Dunn or Rep. George Nethercutt to challenge her in 2004. Dunn is by far the more appealing of the two. Thus far she is said to have been noncommittal to White House and RNC suggestions that she make a play for the higher office. Even before her gaffe, Murray was targeted by Republicans as highly beatable in the next election cycle. "What bothers us is that she seemed to understand how this thing could stick to her for the next 18 or 20 months," says the Democratic leadership staffer. "All she had to do was keep her mouth closed. But with some of these guys [and gals], they're just incapable of doing that." Message 18426641
