Well this is interesting:

Ed Gillespie, President Bush's counselor and a former chairman of the Republican Party, acknowledged that ethical scandals have hurt the GOP. He predicted that by 2008, the party "will not have candidates who have any kind of ethical considerations that will be a concern to the voters."

Does this mean the GOP is going to prevent Ted Stevens and Pete Domenici from running for re-election? What about Jerry Lewis and John Doolittle, among others, in the House?
