What do you do when you're a worn out gay prostitue and WH Press corps pretzledent "fellatio-er"? You call yourself the "new media", and you write crap opinion peices that the Freakers can maturbate to. Sorry for the link, but thought some might like to see what ole Jeff is up to now that he's no longer blowing Karl Rove.

"As for this year's outcome, I must disagree with the Beltway elites who are predicting a tsunami that will sweep Republicans from power in both houses of Congress. I just don't see it.

First of all, there are 468 races being decided, 435 House seats and 33 Senate slots. Generously, only a small percentage of these have the realistic potential to change hands. Still, that could be enough to shift control of one or both chambers to the Democrats.

The chattering class has been talking about a 1994 wipeout of the GOP, but that scenario, if ever more than just wishful thinking on the part of the DNC and the Old Media seems to be increasingly unlikely. The underlying premises to predicting such an outcome are flawed.

The Democrats don't understand the mindset of values voters or religious people at all. Pressure against their values strengthens, not diminishes their resolve. Foley wasn't a religious figure, but the scandal focused attention on the issue of homosexuality and young people. Haggard's downfall has caused the Evangelical community to come together - as is its nature - to defend its faith and affirm its values.

Values voters know what is at stake in this election and will turn out. They know that if Democrats rule the Senate there will not be a single conservative judge confirmed for the balance of the Bush presidency and if a Supreme Court vacancy occurs, that a John Roberts or a Samuel Alito would never make it to the bench. This impacts in two key areas, gay marriage and abortion."

C'mon Jeff, catch the wave. It's going to be a bumpy ride unless you've got a surfboard.
