Fate of Rep. Simmons, sub base intertwined
Fate of Rep. Simmons, sub base intertwined: "Tomorrow, Rep. Rob Simmons (R-Conn.) finds out what his odds are of getting reelected in 2006.
That’s the conventional wisdom of many political strategists, Democratic and Republican, who say that if the Pentagon puts Submarine Base New London on its base-closure list — to be released tomorrow — Simmons will probably lose next year."
BRAC may not be politicized. But here's more evidence that the consequences of BRAC are. Some in the leftwing of Blogistan would argue that this is part of a Rovian conspiracy to allow GOP members to "save" their bases. I tend to think it is one more example where the GOP is split, and Rove and Rumsfeld aren't on the same page. And GOP votes are going down the toilet.
