Flashpoint for Oct. 25, 2005

Thanks to Vice President Dick Cheney, Rep. Jon Porter, R-Nev., is even less beatable today. Or is it more beatable? Porter was thrilled to take in the more than 200 grand that guests anted up to see Cheney at local businessman Bill Brady's house Monday. But the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee thinks Cheney is an albatross for Porter. The excited DCCC sent out a "culture of corruption" news release - you know, Plame, Halliburton, the usual talking points. And, yet, the Democrats have nobody to run against Porter and his seven-figure war chest. And they don't seem to have anybody really eager to do it, either. But a bigger question is this: How did the DCCC make it through a news release without mentioning Tom DeLay?
