generally where the Dems go. I've said this before,you have to watch Van Holland,Daschle and Gephardt. This is the steering mechanism of our party. Nothing more than carry over of the DLCers,same old sell out just a new day.

Mark this,XL pipeline is a done deal. Daschle has a Refinery deal going down south of Souix Falls. This has been in the works for years. John Thune is not going to be a VP candidate as a result of the fall out. It's all about the money!!!!
