Leahy may return to Washington in 04 or he may not. He is not revered anywhere as much as you seem to think and in Washington is one of the least respected Senators even among his own party some of whom rightly blame his obstructionism in the judiciary as a prime reason that the GOP regain control of that chamber. Also. to call Leahy a moderate tells me that you ahve no idea what liberal, moderate and conservative even mean or that you are in denial that you are a liberal. I don't care where a person stands on the spectrum but be honest enough that if you choose to use labels that you use the proper one.
