FLASHPOINT for May 24, 2007

So how is this for a scenario next year? Democrats can't find anyone credible to run against Rep. Jon Porter. But suddenly this doctor, who used to be a Republican but switched out of disgust with the current GOP leadership in D.C., evinces an interest. He is smart, knowledgeable, has resources. And, best (or worst?) of all, he has a wife who is incredibly energetic and has been enmeshed in politics for most of her life. In fact, she is a Democratic congresswoman. And what if I told you her name is Shelley Berkley and his name is Larry Lehrner? And what if I told you that this is seriously being considered? Would you say I was crazy? Or would you say they are crazy? No matter what you might say, it's being contemplated. And just might happen.
