3. I missed it but I do have an observation about Cafferty
In some respects Cafferty is informed on the issues and doesn't buy into hype and talking points. Other times he just doesn't connect the dots. About a month ago he did a great rant about how the Consitution was being violated (by bush* admin & Congress as accessories to the crime) and how our country is in great peril. The following day he talks up LIEberman as being a terrific Senator and then Cafferty goes on to ask what does it say about the Democrats for wanting to oust him (I believe this was before LIEberman was defeated in the primaries).

I think that it is because Cafferty (I believe) is a conservative/republican that he feels as though he can't support any Dem that isn't labeled/viewed as a "moderate", and Dems who have been labeled Liberal he just can't believe that they have done good things for the US.

I'm happier than all get-out that he has had the integrity to speak out against the worst of the gop's policies & behavior. As for the other stuff he says that sounds like rw talking points, well, I shoot him off some letters and hope like hell that his eyes will open the rest of the way.
