Republican Chooses Reelection Over "Dear Leader" Bush

Well, Rep. James Walsh (R-Onondaga, NY) is finally taking a stand against Bush on the war.

FWIW, this is his district:

This is upstate New York, Syracuse used to be a manufacturing center, and New York Republicans outside of Long Island are in the mold of Tom Dewey, not Alphonse "Da Woim" D'Amato.

He's covering his ass. A number of Republicans lost their seats in New York in 2006. Every Republican in New England except for Chris Shays lost his seat in 2006.

The Republican party, and the war are an albatross around his neck, and he's running scared.
