to vote against him, as I always do for whatever pseudo dem happens to be foisted on me, except in 96, when Illinois was safe for Clinton, and I was able to vote nader, in hopes of the greens getting a foothold in the federal financing game

all you gun nut freedom warriors can have your precious .50 cals, your BARs, your RPGs, your M60s. try using them against an F16 or an A10

Scarborough is a weasel, but there's some evidence to support his claim.

For the record, I doubt the number will be anywhere near that high by November.
