Saw this little ditty online:
Sen. Pat Roberts (KS) is now the eighth Republican senator to announce that they will not attend the GOP Convention in St. Paul, Minn., next month. Roberts spokeswoman told the Topeka Capital Journal today that Roberts will be campaigning that week, finishing up his 105 county statewide tour during the convention week.
Four others who've announced they won't be attending are -- Ted Stevens (AK), Elizabeth Dole (NC), Gordon Smith (OR), and Susan Collins (ME). All are running for re-election and are in close races. (Collins may have the easiest race, but she's never been a close ally of McCain.) Three other GOP senators who are retiring this year have also said they'll skip the St. Paul festivities -- Larry Craig (ID), Chuck Hagel (NE) and Wayne Allard (CO).
And the list could grow. Two more GOP senators locked in tough re-election races -- John Sununu (NH) and Roger Wicker (MS) are still undecided about attending.
The phrase, "Rats deserting a sinking ship" certainly comes to mind.
If they all go, that's 10 Republican senators won't be at the Republican national convention. That's almost 1/5th of the Republicans in the Senate will be skipping out on John McSame. What does that say about McSame, that Republican senators up for election this year don't want to be seen in the same building as him? And what does it say about them, and their thoughts on the Republican chances this year?

Oh yeah...they're gay. I wanna see what happened just after this pic was taken.
Larry Craig is retiring. Isn't the Minnesota airport where he became famous?

How the GOP let John McCain become their nominee is beyond me. Don't they hate this man? I'm sure they could've wrangled some scandalous lie that had the ring of truth to it in order to derail him before now. Poor dears...
