Moderates take charge

It's good to see the moderate Republicans assert themselves in the U.S. Senate by brokering a compromise on Bush's judicial nominees. But those 7 Republican moderates must know the Club for Growth and other conservative extremist organizations will come hunting for them. In fact, they're already slandering Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.), who was one of the 7, and he is not up for re-election until 2008. At any rate, I hope this ends the weeks of disproportionate coverage this topic has received. It never fails to amaze me that the media can devote so much ink to this parliamentary squabble, but they can't be trusted to provide information on all the candidates running for an office.
