BUT, his latest ads are amateurish and silly, not in a way that will cause someone to switch their vote for U.S. SENATOR! He needs to be taken seriously. Take a look at Sheldon Whitehouse’s new ad…now whom would you vote for???</p> <p>On a much smaller note, I think the joke you’re trying to reference is RICO Suave, not Enrique, but maybe I’m missing something.</p> I want to see Joe tossed, and if Ned’s the guy, fine.

On a much smaller note, I think the joke you’re trying to reference is RICO Suave, not Enrique, but maybe I’m missing something.

I’m just very concerned about his long time Republican background, does he give up that ingrained ideology easily? Can’t find anything about how he feels about womens rights (hate to hazzard a guess) or our progressive issues, and at this point do any Repubs ever tell the truth? I also don’t dismiss my intuition very often and so I’ve been bothered ever since I saw all that on his site, and then more when it ‘got disappeared’. Why is it being hidden now from the general public if he wasn’t bothered revealing it openly at first? It’s a conundrum for me that I need more answers to and would appreciate any input anyone can find out about him.</p> zennurse, yes, with Marcinkowski being ex-CIA I can see where he’s coming from there on Plamegate, which is something we here naturally feel all Americans should be pissed about.
