Andy Card folds on senate
Republican Andrew Card, the former chief of staff to President George W. Bush, burned up the phone lines yesterday, gauging support for a possible run for Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s seat, but last night decided to bow out.

But they instead went for a straight-up tax hike, with nary a thought given to ever reversing it.
And in Massachusetts - no matter what Murray may say - rolling back taxes is as easy as unringing a bell. Taxpayers ought to pay close attention to what this administration does instead of what it says.
