Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts skipping the Republican party
Sens. Susan Collins, Gordon Smith, Ted Stevens, Elizabeth Dole, and now Pat Roberts!
You have to wonder, are these nervous Rs planning a fishing trip in Alaska with Ted? :rofl:
They are all on the Stevens PAC donations list, the PAC that accepted the VECO $$$$!

Roberts skipping the Republican party
http://blogs.kansas.com/weblog/2008/08/roberts-skipping-the-republican-party/

What if John McCain throws a party and nobody comes? Count Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts among a growing list of GOP senators who’ve confirmed they won’t be attending the party’s national convention next month in Minneapolis.

Instead, Roberts will be campaigning hard on a statewide tour. Although he has a double-digit lead over Democrat Jim Slattery, Roberts apparently feels vulnerable.

Republican Congressional Committee chairman Tom Cole reportedly advised some embattled Republicans to steer clear of the convention. So far, GOP no-shows include Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Gordon Smith of Oregon, Ted Stevens of Alaska and Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina. And now Roberts.

1. Some people simply don't like attending funerals.
I want to see empty seats on primetime TV. :)

2. ROFLMAO
2008 is a one bumper sticker year:

Dec. 12, 2000 = $1.42

I'd like to see this as a static 30 second ad during the GOP "funeral" event.

But hey, I also like "InSane 4 McSame"
