Sorry to say, none of our officials in congress want to touch that subject.  Look at the voting record for Allen, Webb, Warner and Wolf.   None of them has ever taken a position on anchor babies. It looks like that subject is off the table for them.</description>

What make you think Jeanmarie Devolites-Davis is "compromising her principles"?  Wouldn't that mean she had to have some to begin with?</description>

		<description>Maybe Tom's WIFE needs to retire - judging by her commericals, you would think she is a Democrat.  I realize that she lives in a heavy Dem area but so does Jay O and HE has NEVER compromised his principles.</description>

		<description>Few men of first class ability can afford to let their affairs go to ruin while they fool away their time in Legislatures.  But your chattering, one-horse village lawyer likes it, and your solemn ass from the cow countries, who don't know the Constitution from the Lord's Prayer, enjoys it, and these you always find in the Assembly; the one gabble, gabble, gabbling threadbare platitudes and 'give-me-liberty-or give-me-death' buncombe from morning to night, and the other asleep, with his slab-soled brogans set up like a couple of grave-stones on the top of his desk.</description>

		<description>Davis was out of control.  Last time I checked the constitution(its an old document that this country was founded on) DC is not a state and he continued to vote for DC voting rights.

Conservatives believe in the "rule of Law" Liberals beleive you follow the law unless there is an opportunity to skirt it to make yourself feel good about yourself for being such a "big hearted person"</description>

		<description>Maybe Davis is just tired of dealing with the traffic on I-66, especially on days like today, and maybe he's tired of trying to reason with left-wing nut jobs like Anonymous, who can never be satisfied no matter how much he compromises his principles.  Maybe Wolf will follow him.  Maybe one of their friendly developers will build an old-RINO home somewhere in Arlington where they can sit around and enjoy milquetoast and watered down coffee.</description>

		<description>Davis will not resign or retire from the senate today...too likely to undermine JMDD campaign.  TD will announce he is not running for the US Senate nomination.

Davis will not ever resign his seat.  That would potentially cause a special election.  Davis might decide not to run for reelection next year.  Difference is resignation clears the seat immediately...retirement means he leaves at the end of his term.

I think it is unlikely he will retire.  To do so now when the GOP does not hold either seat means he will not be in high demand as a lobbyist, and will significantly undermine any attempt to come back for a future senate race.

Most likely event-no senate run in 2008, runs for reelection instead and keeps his options open.</description>
