I'd put the conservative estimate at ZERO chance.
David Duke was a member of the House and ran for the Senate. I do not believe he was asked to resign. Nor should he have been.

David Duke was never in Congress. He was in the Louisiana State House. 2 seconds of research and you might get a post right.

I misread the biography. He ran for US Senate and US House. It has been a bad couple of days. A really bad couple of days.

Mostpost, You really have had a couple of rotten days. I would suggest that you take a deep breath, chill for a day, and start over on Sunday??

Wish I would have read this reply before I quoted your apology in the other thread. There are times, more often than not, that you seem to be a pretty good guy. This post is one of them. Go in the other thread, offer a better worded apology to Mike and the others, and lets hope that better days are ahead. I'd rather see the guy who I rarely agree with, but who has a sense of humor about things, than the guy who I've been so confrontational with lately.
