Top GOP Losers Reconsider Suicide PAC - Politics - Avant News: "Leading Republican senators who had formed a Suicide PAC prior to the 2006 midterm elections are now reconsidering their positions, beltway sources report. The unusual political action committee was designed to ensure members' reelections by codifying a formal 'loss provision', under which PAC members vowed to commit suicide in the event of failure at the ballot box. Despite widespread interest in the Suicide PAC marked by record-breaking contributions from committed Republicans to the failed GOP juggernaut, some PAC members are now expressing second thoughts about the vow.

'I'd be lying if I said the election went the way I thought it would go,' Senator Rick Santorum, a founding Suicide PAC member who lost his 2006 reelection bid to Democratic candidate Bob Casey, Jr. in a landslide, said. 'With 20-20 hindsight, vowing to commit suicide if I lost may not have been the most rational or Christian thing to do, even though it really helped open the funding spigots. I'm going to have to think about this.'

The Suicide PAC, officially known as Death Or Honor! (DOH!) was formed by Senators Rick Santorum (R-PA), George Allen (R-VA), James Talent (R-MO), Mike DeWine (R-OH), Conrad Burns (R-MT) and Rep. Katherine Harris (R-FL) in late 2005, at a time when the GOP was deemed invincible in the Senate by nearly all political analysts. " More...LOL...
