91. The republic's whips had a bite to them...
How did the cons do it in '98?

My opinion: The republics were unified on almost every issue at that point. We're not. The republic's whips had a bite to them. Our whips don't have the same force.

Bear in mind-- what happened to President Clinton's approval rating during and after the proceedings? Answer: They boggled the imagination and increased. I fear the same thing happening in reverse.

I'd hate to see the conservative base unify again for the first time in three years, giving them a shot at the '08 elections.
