"Bush plan fuels GOP insecurity" Is that a GREAT headline?

PAYSON, Ariz. -- Rick Renzi, the Republican congressman from northern Arizona, is torn.

President Bush has urged Republicans to convince voters that his plan for personal retirement accounts will help save Social Security, but Renzi is not so sure. So rather than proselytize, Renzi has come to the Rim Country Chamber of Commerce offering coffee, cookies and a willing ear.

"I really want to understand your heart on this issue," he tells about 40 people crammed into the lobby on a weekday morning. "It's an issue I'm open to--I'm not set on."
...
"With the possible exception of the war in Iraq, Social Security is likely to be the most salient issue of the cycle," said Democratic strategist Jim Jordan. "And it just may be that President Bush is leading his party over a cliff."

Renzi's a pretty new rep. Of his mtg with Bush and Rove he tells his constituents, "It's like being called to the principal's office"

Repubs have real issues with respect to systems of authority. Not "boss's ofc", not "colleague's ofc", *principal's* ofc. I've even heard them refer to party pressure as having been "taken to the wood shed".
