Senator Richard Santorem

Can it get any worse for Sen. Santorem. Only a year and one-half ago it seemed as though this guy was destined for political deification. Already the number 3 guy in the Senate, young, good looking - he seemed to be the Republican poster boy destined to be ordained by the Republican right for national office. Now it appears that he'll be lucky to keep his Senate seat in '06. The last poll I saw showed him behind his Democratic challenger by double digits. Moreover, he appears to have been the Senate liason for the K Street Republican lobbyists with their now unfortunate connections to Rep. DeLay and "Captain" Jack Abramoff. Ouch....

At today's press conference he looked as though he was about to cry when he was being questioned on his role with the lobbyists and Cap'n Jack specifically.
