Ha, reminds me of when Phil whined about the Democrats in St. Paul trying to recall Randy Kelly arguing he had done nothing except endorse Bush. Same thing as Davis, he was unpopular, in this case for endorsing Bush. Yes, recalls don't exist for this reason, but most Republicans have quite a double standard here, except Walter, who is often a rare Republican voice of common sense.
I think lying about the state of the budget and endorsing someone from the opposite party are two very different things.
