Never be afraid to stand with the minority when the minority is right, for the minority which is right will one day be the majority. - William Jennings Bryan

Ok, quick politics stuff..
PENNSYLVANIA
All in one day, three candidates have entered the race for U.S. Senate in 2006. Dr. Chuck Pennacchio, and State Treasurer Bob Casey, Jr. Casey is considered the front-runner, and is the only one polling higher than incumbent Senator Rick Santorum (R).
COLORADO
Getting a BIG jump on everyone else, Congressman Mark Udall (D) has announced he will be a candidate for U.S. Senate...in 2008. The incumbent, Senator Wayne Allard, made a campaign promise in 1996 to only serve two terms, which would put his career at an end in 2008. Whether Allard stands by his promise is yet to be seen.
Ok, that's all for now. I think I'll go watch a Hee Haw DVD.
