They can reach out, too, to Democrats who keep an open mind even if not philosophically in tune. Georgia's Jim Marshall is a man of principle. Alabama's Artur Davis had the grace this week to apologize for having been wrong a couple of years ago about the safety of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. And of course Joe Lieberman, liberal as he is on domestic issues, is a man of immense character as well.

But these stars will need every bit of support they can muster, and the steady assistance of less vocal men of integrity (Alabama's Jo Bonner is one), if they are to overcome the currents of statism above statesmanship and of legerdemain above leadership.

This nation faces some rocky times. Very rocky. Thank goodness these new leaders are there to help us through them. Pray that their numbers increase. We'll need them.
