"Ever wonder why the conservative movement is in such disarray in this country?" it is?? BOOST FOR GOP "Republicans won a pair of special elections on Tuesday in Tennessee and Oklahoma, picking up seats held by Democrats for decades," John Fund writes at www.opinion journal.com. "Combined with this month's capture of the Albuquerqugree mayor's office a Republican for the first time in 28 years, Democrats have reason to be nervous about the approaching November 3 off-year elections. Given their lackluster performance in these races, they could face serious turnout problems that will boost GOP performance," Mr. Fund said. "In Tennessee, Republican businessman Pat Marshwon 56 percent of the vote to defeat Democrat Ty Cobb. It wasn't as if Mr. Cobb had a name unknown to voters. His brother Curt had held the seat before resigning to take another government office (and it probably didn't hurt having the same name as a baseball legend). But Mr. Cobb attributed his defeat to the fact that 'a lot of people based their opinions on national issues the health care issue was the main one.' "A couple of states over, national issues may also have played a role in the GOP capture of an Oklahoma House seat held by Democrats since 1965. Republican Todd Russ won 56 percent of the vote even though registered Democrats have a two-to-one edge in the district. The twin victories mean Republicans have captured a total of six state legislative seats from Democrats in special elections this year. The other wins came in Delaware, Texas, New Hampshire and Virginia."

By you own omission, you say you don't watch the show but you KNOW that there are no rightists on the show. Just a random sample on my part. When I watch that hour, I watch Greta. She is much better and has a much better show. I just re-discovered CNN this week - after my cable company reshufled the channels... BTW neither Gergen nor Borger are presented as conservatives. They are put on panels vs. liberals. So you have a liberal host, liberal panelist and a centrist. Bruce Bennett isn't a conservative? Alex Constanellos [sp] isn't a conservative? Ed Rollins isn't a conservative? I have seen those during elections, not afterwards. I repeat.......wingers have one station to watch and that's the one they watch. God forbid they watch anything else and learn the truth. I have a hope for CNN, that they will come to their senses. Which is why I have spent so much time discussing CNN. As is, they are hopeless... AC is thier strongest, or should I say least weak show of the prime-time. They should shift it to a better time slot, fire Brown and King.
