Anything can happen

Rep. Mark Folley (FL-16) submitted his resignation today to Rep. Hastert after ABC uncovered sexually explicit internet messages with current and former Congressional pages under the age of 18. Now it looks like this seat could flip to the Democratic challenger Tim Mahoney.

Rep. Bob Ney (OH-18) decided not to run for re-election after winning his primary. The reason, he plead guilty to federal charges of bribery and corruption relating to Jack Abramoff scandal. Ney is being pressured to resign by his own party. Now it looks like his seat will flip to the Democratic challenger Zack Space. Space has a $205,000 to $13,000 cash on hand advantage over his opponent and is leading in polls.

Rep. Tom DeLay (TX-22) resigned his seat this past spring after winning a difficult primary. He has been indicted on several criminal charges that he had conspired to violate campaign finance laws. Now it looks like his seat will flip to the Democratic challenger Nick Lampson. Lampson has a $2.1 million to $30,000 cash on hand advantage against his write-in opponent.

This is why we question Vito's vail trips with Bob Ney.
This is why we question Vito's baseball game with Tony Rudy, Jack Abramoff and ASG.
This is why we question Vito's $10,000 donation from Tom DeLay.

This is why it is important Harrison has forced Vito to debate, and why Harrison will force him to account for his actions. There is a change coming if you are tired of 'more of the same' from Washington.
