Party Rift On Display as Dems Settle Florida, Michigan
We can take little solace from the fact that the Dems are fighting like the Hatfields and the McCoys this election cycle. We Republicans have our own party divisions. I read an article today that said that the Dems are out registering new Democratic voters in Colorado by a 10 to 1 ratio over new Republican voters.
Balancing that bad news is some very positive news from Congressional races that I am following. Jeff Beatty from Massachusetts is statistically tied with John Kerry and Jason Chaffetz is within 2 points of six term, open borders incumbent Chris Cannon in Utah.

The Democratic Party should for all practical purposes be in the driver’s seat heading into November. President Bush has anemic approval ratings and his would-be successor – Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) – supports him on the unpopular Iraq War.
Democratic primary turnout is breaking records in every state, and both history-making candidates have shattered fundraising records.
Democrats are excited, mobilized and opening their wallets.
But as the Rules and Bylaws Committee settled on two formulas as a way to seat both Florida and Michigan, one possibly fatal problem became clear: The Democratic Party is far from unified, and it might be a while before it is.

That’s great news about Beatty! Hope he unseats John Kerry. Wouldn’t that be something?! Same sentiments for Chaffetz beating Chris Cannon…
As for Democrats out-registering new Democratic voters in COLORADO by a 10 to 1 ratio -that seems to be what’s happening across the nation. Kudos to Romney for getting out there and “banging the pots and pans.” Romney spoke yesterday at their convention and Coloradoans would feel the electricity if Romney were selected VP!

We need the voltage of Mitt “Lightning Bolt” Romney on the ticket. He’s the combustion America needs to launch ourselves out of this energy horror-trade deficit-open borders-illegal immigrant-budget deficit-money squandering-social liberalist mess we’re in!
Fireball Romney for VP!

Bill O’Riley says Romney for VP, also Boston Globe, but Mitt is humble.
