Most of the right wing pundits, and columnists are all talking about re-branding the GOP. 
They distance themselves from Bush 43, like they did from Hoover, and Nixon and Bush 41. 
They have a brand that just isn't good. 
 The GOP says many things, but talk is cheap...as cheap as talk radio and cable news.

I did feel better when I heard the truth, as bad as it was.  The video's a bit old but in case you haven't seen it.........

In The Hill this morning, discussing Feingold's morning appearance on Meet The Press:

Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) Sunday called for the censure of President Bush, Vice President Cheney and others, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) indicated that he is reluctant to schedule a vote on such a measure.

“Censure is about holding the administration accountable,” Feingold said. “Congress needs to formally condemn the President and members of the administration for misconduct before and during the Iraq war, and for undermining the rule of law at home.”

Although many in his home state are disappointed in his backing down on the possibility of impeachment, even this mild of an action is meeting with reluctance from the Democratic party.

It's time for our party to develop a spine and fight for what the American public clearly wants - a new administration.

How low can he go?That's slightly better than Jeffrey Dahmer and a little worse than Ed Gien. Political Wire has the story on a new poll, which shows Giuliani and Clinton leading the presidential packs here.

President Bush's approval rating in Wisconsin is just 19%, with a stunning 73% disapproving of his job performance. Congressional approval is not much better at just 22%, with 68% disapproving.

Dennis Troha, Kenosha businessman and would-be casino kingpin, has pleaded guilty to two federal misdemeanors Friday in connection with improper political contributions he made.

That Troha was negotiating a plea has been widely reported.

But the media will be shocked, shocked to discover that Troha's plea is not a scandal involving Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle, but a bipartisan conviction.

All of the paperwork hasn't been filed, [UPDATE: Here's the agreement.] But Troha pleaded to conspiring to skirt campaign finance laws and help the campaigns of Doyle and -- surprise! -- President George W. Bush.

To my knowledge, Bush's name had never been mentioned in any of the previous news accounts about Troha's troubles. [UPDATE: The Wisconsin State Journal did write about Troha's donations to Bush in a story in March,
