Sen. Schumer Continues Unanswered Attacks Against All Republicans
          Sen. Charles Schumer said yesterday that the Connecticut Primary was “a referendum on the president more than anything else. The results bode well for Democratic victories in November and our efforts to take the country in a new direction.''
          Schumer continued his unanswered attacks against all Republicans, including President Bush, as he seeks national prominence for his expected successes in electing many Democrats to Congress this fall.
          Many observers say he will be correct if the Republicans don’t appoint someone like Brit Hume immediately to respond directly and challenge Schumer.
          The Senator’s counterpart in the Republican Party, Elizabeth Dole had raised only one-half the amount that Schumer had as of last month, $19.9 million to over $37.7 million.
          The New York Times said that if the President is unable to close that gap, it will force the RNC to give money to embattled GOP Senators, which will “create tensions with House Republicans who want that money used to help them.”
          Dole brushed-off the comparisons with Schumer and told the Times: “I didn’t take this job to prove anything. This is not a P.R. campaign for me. This is not some kind of contest between Chuck Schumer and Elizabeth Dole.”
          She suggested that Schumer was mostly concerned with advancing his career, but many Republicans wished that was also her goal. Many are concerned about her poor job.

Fox News Getting Desperate
          As Fox News watches the ineptness of its employee, Tony Snow, who is acting as spokesman for President Bush, the company executives in New York are concerned that Snow not be dismissed from his post in the Oval Office.
          Fox covets that access to the Oval Office, as would any large corporation, particularly one with annual revenues over $27 billion.
          Last night, while they had Chris Wallace doing an excellent job of hosting the Brit Hume show, the executives put up many clips of Snow’s News Conference when he was talking about Israel. (None of the hosts, such as Chris Wallace last night choose much of what appears on the show. Those decisions are made by producers in New York City.)
          They were not subtle. It was an obvious attempt to make their employee look Presidential.
          If they were really smart they would push for a Response person for the President. This would take most of the pressure off Snow and have someone else answering Senator Schumer.
