This is rich: "Republicans Meet Amid Bush's Rough Straits"
snip>
Outside the convention hall, several delegates to the Southern Republican Leadership Conference said they were shaken by a string of White House mistakes and suggested Bush may need a new team.

"I am sorry for letting you down when it comes to spending your money," Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told several hundred delegates Saturday. "We're going to turn it around and if we don't, we're going to be in trouble" in November.

He apologized for the lobbyist scandal that has tarnished the Republican majorities in Congress.

He apologized for Republican-run Washington failing to stand up to China and India on trade matters.

And, finally, Graham urged activists to make sure the party returns to its roots before Election Day.

"We're not going to win by being Democrats," he said. "Conservatism sells."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/11/AR2006031100734.html

The funniest is the reporter's dry comment in this paragraph:

Even an architect of Congress' fiscal record denounced it. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee said there was "no justification for a one-way ticket down a wayward path of wasteful Washington spending," which seemed to be an indictment of the institution he leads.
............

Yet CNN says *Democrats* are "on the run" :rofl:
