Sign of the Times

You know it's bad for the Republican Party when an incumbent GOP Senator runs ads touting his work with the presumptive Democratic nominee and other Democratic members of congress.

[Senator Gordon ]Smith has studiously avoided any mention of his GOP credentials in his ads and campaign literature. A recent ad featured two Democrats, including former Oregon Rep. Elizabeth Furse, praising Smith for speaking out against the Iraq war in December 2006, after Republicans lost control of Congress.

ahh but yes, it's the Democratic Party that's falling apart.
