W's Political Capital - From Priceless to Worthless
The cost to Doug Forrester of losing again
while Dems retain New Jersey: $20 million.
The cost to California GOP of getting beat
while Schwarzenegger squanders
his meager political capital: $100 million.
W goes to Virginia with GOP down 3 points;
stakes his rep, holds a rally & heads home
...with GOP down 5 points: PRICELESS.
12 months ago, W promised to spend his capital.
I guess now it's spent. His current heft: worthless.
Pour a glass to progressive power of '05,
as we prepare to pour ourselves into '06,
at our weekly democratic drinking club.
