FLASHPOINT for Mar 14, 2006

What goes around comes around, sometimes even in the always unfair political world. Many observers thought Rep. Jon Porter was something akin to insane when he attacked Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid at the beginning of the year. And few were surprised that a few weeks later, Porter had an opponent - Reid's spokeswoman, Tessa Hafen. What goes around ... Now, I hear, Porter has been saying that what comes around 2010 - Reid's re-election - could be go time for him against Reid. If he survives against Hafen, Porter will only get stronger and might just do what almost every member of the Gang of 435 wants to do: Become a member of the Club of 100. The last laugh sometimes takes a while.
