No Plan

I was listening to Sen. Tom Daschle on the Ed Schultz show tonight. I found out a couple of interesting things. First, Senator Tim Johnson will not be back to the Senate soon. He is now undergoing rehabilitation, no mention of when he will be recovered enough to return to the Senate. This means Lieberman is the swing vote in the Senate if the Rs and Ds keep their troops in line.

Second, Iraq investigations are going to tie up the House and Senate so that Democrats will not be passing much of their agenda, according to Daschle.

Third, when pointedly asked about the Democrat's plan for Iraq he avoided answering the question in any way shape or form.

I think what that all means is that the Democrat's plan for the next year or two is to use the investigations into Bush's conduct of the war as a stalling tactic to avoid doing anything substantial.

I think this fits in with a desperate plan to keep the Democrats From Splitting.

Senator Tim Johnson's condition has been upgraded from critical to fair. His recovery is expected to take several more months.

Ammended due to a Power and Control Commenter re: counting heads in the Senate.
